Request Items Directly from MA Public Libraries:
You can request books, DVDs, and music from hundreds of libraries statewide through ComCat (Commonwealth Catalog). Most public libraries participate as do a few universities such as UMass Dartmouth, UMass Amherst, and Brandeis University. The catalog is a great place to search for popular books, DVDs, and music. Make a request and it will be delivered right to Maxwell Library for quick pickup.
To login to ComCat, click "Please Login" in the top right corner of the page and select BRIDGEW: Bridgewater State University from the drop-down menu. Select Patron in the pop-up window and log in with your BSU email address and password.
