Electronic resources

While remote access to our databases is not available to non-affiliated visitors or alumnae because of license restrictions, most databases are available to in-person visitors to the library.

If you can't visit the library in person, we offer a selection of scholarly electronic resources that are available free on the Web, or check out the "Key Websites" listed in each of our Research Guides by Subject.

Your public library most likely provides access to a variety of electronic resources -- including some of the same ones to which we subscribe; find a public library near you.

If you are in Massachusetts, these regional library networks provide information about remote access to electronic resources:
