Searched for identified, relevant sources and found that one or more are not owned by the Suffolk University libraries?
- unfortunately, the Sawyer Library does not own all of the resources wanted by its community. The good news is that Boston is an information-rich city with millions of volumes in libraries within walking distance of MBTA subway stations.
- Suffolk University belongs to the Fenway Library Consortium (FLC) which enables students to borrow books from other FLC members.
- all FLC members have an online catalog (such as ARCHER) -- check the online catalogs to determine the availability and location of a FLC member that owns the source(s) you are seeking.
- the Boston Public Library is a major research library, and the source(s) you are seeking may be there. To borrow books from the BPL, you must be able to prove you are a resident of Massachusetts.
- most academic libraries in Boston will allow students from other universities to visit, read books and journals, and make photocopies; in most cases you will not be able to borrow from libraries other than members of the Fenway Library Consortium and the Boston Public Library.
