The
Five College Library System
The five libraries have an integrated,
automated system that provides a unified catalog of their collections.
The online
catalog also furnishes information on circulation status, periodical
holdings, and titles on order.
In the online
catalog, University holdings are in one database and those of the four
colleges in another. Both are accessible from any terminal or PC on either
system. Users may switch easily between the two databases and replicate
a search from one to the other.
Use
of Libraries
Students, faculty, and staff of the five colleges may use all libraries
and collections on-site for research and study.
Direct
Borrowing
A direct borrowing agreement among the five libraries allows students,
faculty, and staff to borrow materials from all main libraries and some
branch libraries. Borrowing in person requires an institutional ID. Borrowers
may also make an online request through the Five College Library System,
which provides intercampus delivery of books to the borrower’s home
campus.
Complete information about the library system, including borrowing responsibilities
and restrictions and profiles of each collection, is available in the
Five College Library Guide.
