Catalogs and Databases

The Library's Website provides information on library services, staff, electronic resources, and collections. 

Maxwell Library's catalog lists books, videotapes, DVDs, CD, and journals. Books may be renewed one time prior to the actual due date.

If you cannot find the resource you need in the catalog click on "Massachusetts Commonwealth Catalog" or "Max Search" to continue your search in the collections of other libraries in the region. The "ComCat" works for books and media, but is not set up to include journal articles.

To access databases from off-campus, you will need to have a BSU user account and log in (email and password).

Under Find, click "Journal FInder" to see which magazines, newspapers, and journals are available.
