Massachusetts Virtual Catalog
If you have searched the OWHL’s catalog, all of NOBLE and Memorial Hall’s catalog and have not found the book you are looking for, you can expand your search by using the Massachusetts Virtual Catalog.
The Virtual Catalog will let you request an item statewide if it is not available in NOBLE libraries. If the item is available in NOBLE, you must request it through the NOBLE Catalog.
The Virtual Catalog will search through the following library catalogs:
- Bridgewater State College
- CLAMS, Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing
- C/W MARS, Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing
- FLO, Fenway Libraries Online
- MBLN, Metro Boston Library Network (including the Boston Public Library)
- Merrimack Valley Library Consortium
- Minuteman Library Network
- NOBLE, North of Boston Library Exchange
- OCLN, Old Colony Library Network
- SAILS Library Network
- University of Massachusetts, Amherst
- University of Massachusetts, Boston
- University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
- University of Massachusetts, Lowell
- Westfield State College
You must have a PIN to use the Virtual Catalog. You can obtain a PIN at the circulation desk in the OWHL. Don’t forget to bring your ID!
Tip! It can often take several weeks for items to arrive after requesting them from the Virtual Catalog. Make sure to plan ahead so you can get your books in time!
