Search the HELM catalog to discover our collection of books, e-books, and e-videos. Here, you have access to NSCC's collections as well as the collection from several other colleges in Massachusetts.
Did you find a book source you would like to use for your research, but it is not available in the HELM network of libraries?
You may request the book be sent to you via our InterLibrary Loan Service.
How to submit a request:
1. Check to make sure the book is not available within the HELM libraries. Search all HELM libraries.
If you locate the book, click on the button and follow the online instructions to request the material. Note: Material may take up to a week to arrive.
2. If the book is only available outside the HELM library system, fill out the InterLibrary Loan Book Request form.
Expand your searching outside our local library network to library catalogs across the commonwealth using the Commonwealth Catalog. Here is a tutorial on searching and requesting items through CommCat.
You can also search collections through out the United States and the globe using WorldCat. The NSCC Library's Interlibrary Loan service is able to request most books you may search and find in WorldCat.
