Special permission is granted only to users performing legitimate study or research. After finding a material of interest in the NDL Search or other means, confirm the call number, fill out both a call-slip and a Permission Application Form, and submit them at the counter. Be sure to fill out the column describing the purpose and subject of your research on the Permission Application Form. Advance reservations are required to use music manuscripts. Please fill out a call-slip for materials in the Eiryo Ashihara Collection and request them from the counter.

- Materials will be set up on the audio-visual device by a staff member and must be used in the designated area in the Music and Audio-Visual Materials Room.
