The Science Information Network (SINET) is an information communication network connecting universities and research institutions throughout Japan via nationwide nodes. SINET4 plays an important role as the core component of the Cyber Science Infrastructure (CSI) as the successor of SINET and Super SINET.

 
 

The Catalog Information Service supports operations at institutions such as university libraries, offering Online Shared Cataloging System (NACSIS-CAT) and the Interlibrary Loan System (NACSIS-ILL).
