Access to Other Libraries

BLC Membership
Faculty can use and borrow materials from any of the academic and research libraries which make-up the BLC (Boston Library Consortium). Cards are issued through the circulation desk on the first floor. A valid and activated UMassPass with library barcode is required.

NOTE: Before visiting another BLC Library, please contact them to check on their access policies that may be altered due to COVID-19.

Research Consultations

Liaison librarians are available for research consultations via Zoom with you or your students. We can help brainstorm topics and search terms, discuss the best resources for your research and teaching, and more.

Citation Management

We all know keeping track of citations can get overwhelming quickly. We highly suggest using Zotero to help you keep your research accessible and organized.

Feel free to reach out to Kari Mofford (kmofford@umassd.edu) for help with Zotero or see the second link below for a detailed guide on how to get started.

Zotero
Zotero is a research and citation manager that can be used on the web or through an app on your computer. You can manually add resources or automatically do it via your browser. It allows you to add tags, notes, and PDFs to all entries.
