Updates & Information on COVID-19 powered by EBSCO.
The library website provides access to the library's online resources. Reference librarians can assist your students in finding the best research for your assignment. In addition, you can find information about accessing our e-books in the Overdrive Ebook Libguide. In addition, we are now subscribing to e-books through Ebsco Ebooks which you can access from the Library's A-Z list of electronic resources.
If you or your students run into any problems accessing any of the databases, do not hesitate to contact Abe Newell at anewell1@framingham.edu
For research help during the Fall semester, email the Research & Learn department at reference@framingham.edu. Reference librarians will be able to answer your question or set-up an appointment over email.
Chat and in-person assistance are also available.
The library staff will be available to answer your questions about your library account, borrowing books, returning books, and inter-library loan during all the hours we are open (whether in person or virtually) during the school year. Feel free to reach out to:
If you are studying remotely or if the library is closed and you need to access a book in the physical collection, contact circulation@framingham.edu to make arrangements. We can arrange a pick up time for you.
If you only need a chapter from a book owned by our library, please email interlibraryloan@framingham.edu and we will happily scan it for you! We can also scan the table of contents to help you figure out which chapter you need.
Many publishers are providing free access to e-books to help students, faculty, and others during this time. Check out the Free and Expanded Resources page for publishers providing free e-book access during this time.
If you need a chapter from a physical book or to borrow a book on reserve, email circulation@framingham.edu to make arrangements.
For information about putting books on reserve, retrieving your books on reserve, or other faculty questions about reserves, see the For Faculty page.
Materials can be returned through the outside book drop located to the left of the front doors or inside at the circulation desk during posted designated times that the library will be open to the public.
