ComCat (Commonwealth Catalog) of MassachusettsThe Commonwealth Catalog (ComCat) allows library patrons to locate and request library materials from all across the state, and have them delivered directly to their home library. No need for mediated interlibrary loan.
Interlibrary Loan
When Maxwell Library doesn't have a book you need, and when the book is not available in ComCat (Commonwealth Catalog), then you may request it through our interlibrary loan service. Request books early, as it can take time for a book to be packaged and delivered.
