The Virtual Catalog is being upgraded and is currently unavailable. In the meantime, please use Interlibrary Loan (see below).

The Boston Library Consortium members are currently resolving technical difficulties with a new interlibrary borrowing system. We apologize for the disruption in service and are hopeful you will be pleased with the improvements.

What was the Virtual Catalog?

The Virtual Catalog provided a single, searchable catalog of books owned by participating libraries of the Boston Library Consortium.

What is replacing the Virtual Catalog?

The new system, called the Boston Library Consortium Catalog, allows you to simultaneously find materials owned by UNH Libraries, BLC libraries, libraries throughout North America, and beyond. Items requested from BLC libraries will generally be available in three to five business days. In addition, you will be able to make ILL requests for items not held by BLC libraries through the very same interface. Boston College, MIT, and other BLC libraries unable to participate in the previous Virtual Catalog will now be able to participate.

How can I request items in the meantime?

Durham faculty, staff, and students should request using Worldcat or Interlibrary Loan.

Manchester faculty, staff, and students should request using the UNH-M Library website.
