Hampshire College

Request a book from one of the other Five College libraries or a book that is checked out from Hampshire:
Search the Five College Libraries Catalog to see if a book is available at one of the other libraries and click on the "Request Item" button at the top of the page. You will be asked to type in the barcode from the back of your student ID (a 15 digit number that begins with 2100...). Click on "go" and the request will be placed. You will receive an email to pick up the book when it has arrived at the Hampshire library circulation desk, usually within two or three working days. If you are in a hurry, you can also go to the library that has it and borrow it directly. Just remember to bring your Hampshire ID card.

Note: If the book you want is available at Hampshire, you must go to the library and get it off the shelf yourself.
