UMB Patrons have two Virtual Catalog options. The BLC Virtual Catalog includes academic libraries throughout New England. The Massachusetts Virtual Catalog will include public and academic libraries in Massachusetts. University of Massachusetts libraries are available through both services.

To login, enter your 10-digit UMB library barcode, and select the catalog you wish to search.
If you don't have a barcode, you can search either catalog by typing 'guest'.

**Only use the note field when indicating a volume you are requesting. Entering anything into this field, even "thank you", "please rush", or "Healey Library owns this but it is checked out" will delay your request**

**Please DO NOT REQUEST the same item from both services - duplicate requests will be cancelled.**

Both the BLC and Massachusetts Virtual Catalogs allows current UMB students, faculty and staff to:

• Simultaneously search the catalogs of participating libraries (BLC Participants | Mass Participants).
• Request items currently unavailable at the Healey Library.
• Pick up and return materials to the Healey Library Circulation Desk.

Please Note: You will not be able to logon if you have overdue items or outstanding fines. If you have trouble logging in, please check your library account.
