Interlibrary Loan

The Virtual Catalog

The Virtual Catalog allows you to simultaneously search many Massachusetts academic and public library catalogs, see which libraries own the title you want, and whether or not the title is available. The Virtual Catalog is best used for locating known titles or authors and not for general subject searches. To search only, login as a guest.

The Virtual Catalog also allows Old Colony Library Network users in good standing to:

• Request items that are unavailable at any OCLN library
• Pick up and return materials at an OCLN library
• To search and place requests, login with your OCLN library card number.

Items not owned by any OCLN library also may be requested via Interlibrary Loan. Contact the Reference at 781-741-1405, extension 2608 for assistance or place an interlibrary loan request online.
