Relevant Electronic Resources through Whittemore Library and Policies Regarding Inter-Library Loan and Books

During this time, physical books will not be available to borrow through The Minuteman Library Network. Obtaining books by Inter-Library-Loan outside of the Network may be limited. To activate your library card account send an email request to: circulation@framingham.edu

 If you need to access a book in the physical collection, contact circulation@framingham.edu to make arrangements. 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.
