Consortia in the Local Area

Boston Library Consortium (BLC). You may apply online for a BLC card which entitles you to borrow, in person, from another BLC collection. The BLC's Virtual Catalog (VC) an efficient way to locate an item currently not available at Boston University, verify availability at a partner institution, and request delivery.

The Minuteman Library Network catalog allows you to search across one or many local public library collections and place online requests for items not available at your home library. Public library collections are a fine resource for readily loanable audio and video titles, both core and unusual print content, and offer a variety of databases as well. See also the Massachusetts Regional Library Networks.
