July 2009: BLC virtual catalog unavailable until further notice.
The Boston Library Consortium virtual catalog provides a single, searchable catalog of books owned by participating libraries of the Boston Library Consortium. It is being replaced.
The new system, WorldCat Local, should provide an improved search interface and requesting system.
February 2009: IEEE journals, conference proceedings, and standards plus IET journals are now available on the IEEE Xplore platform online. This now includes access to abstracts and full text published since 1988, plus select content published since 1913. You may access these materials through the Library Catalog, Fulltext Journal List, Database list, and the online resource guides (below).

About the Library
The Engineering, Mathematics & Computer Science Library (Engr/Math/CS Library) has the main collection for these subjects at UNH. It is located in Kingsbury Hall, Room S236..
Where is Kingsbury S236?
The Library is on the second floor in the middle portion of Kingsbury, with the entrance on the south side (one floor up from the Hatch mural on the first floor). We are open to the public as well as the UNH community. Please call 862-1196 or 862-1740 for more information about Library access.
As a branch of the UNH Library, we serve the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences and related UNH departments and research units, as well as others from the community with research and educational needs in the areas of computer science, mathematics (not math education) and statistics, and chemical, civil, mechanical, and electrical and computer engineering.
The on-site collection includes approximately 26,000 books, 890 current periodical subscriptions, and thousands of bound journal volumes. Web-accessible and CD-ROM databases are available, while course reserve material for many Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics classes is located here. Due to limited space, the Engr/Math/CS Library holds mainly recent and current materials. Older journals and historical materials on mathematics and engineering are located in other campus libraries or in the on-campus Library Storage Facility. To locate materials, check the UNH Library's online catalog, searchable by author, title, subject, and keyword.
