About the Boston Library Consortium

The Boston Library Consortium, an association of 19 academic and research libraries located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, is dedicated to sharing human and information resources to advance the research and learning of its constituency. Founded in 1970, the Consortium supports resource sharing and enhancement of services to users through programs in cooperative collecting, access to electronic resources and physical collections, and enhanced interlibrary loan and document delivery. Access to research materials at member institutions is facilitated by:

  • Access of members online catalogs, and other information resources;
  • interlibrary loan; enhanced by the Virtual Catalog.
  • on-site use of most member libraries. (Consult reference staff at a Consortium library or contact the individual libraries for detailed information).
  • borrowing privileges for qualified researchers.
  • Information including website addresses, street addresses, directions, hours, and circulation policies is found in this User Guide.
