How do I...?

--Renew my books?

To access your library account, log in to the Five College Library Catalog. Click on "My Account/Renew" in the upper right hand corner. You will be asked to type in the barcode from the back of your ID, then do it a second time for verification. Click on "Go". You will see a screen listing the number of books you have checked out from each institution. Click on the number in each column to see a list of books you have checked out, and to renew them.

--Request a book from one of the other Five College libraries?

Search the Five College Library Catalog to find the book you want. Click on "Request item" on the top of the screen. You will be asked to type in the barcode from the back of your ID, then do it a second time for verification. Click on "Go" and the request will be placed. You will receive an email when the book has arrived at the Hampshire library circulation desk for you to pick up, in most cases within two or three working days.

--Access library databases from off-campus?

Use the link from one of the library database pages to access the database, and use your Hampshire email address and password to log in.
