Libraries Available to COF Students

The institutions within the Colleges of the Fenway are members of three library consortia in Boston. Within the Colleges of the Fenway, students may check books out directly at the libraries of the other colleges. They also may request the book though the Inter-Library Loan system. The other three consortia allow Inter-Library Loans, however directly checking books out of the host institution is often restricted. This may also apply to access to the library itself.

Fenway Libraries On-Line (FLO)

Students can request materials from any of the participating schools; deliveries are made daily.
