Online resources for when the library is closed, or you are unable to come to the library.

Search ComCat - The Statewide Catalog

Commonwealth Catalog (ComCat) logo

Commonwealth Catalog is our statewide system of sharing library resources. When NECC Libraries and our HELM network members do not have an item, Massachusetts residents can use the Commonwealth Catalog to search through all participating libraries in one easy step and sort results by books, audiobooks, or DVDs. Simply request the item with your library card and it’s delivered right to NECC Libraries for pickup, usually within a few days. To access the Commonwealth catalog click the link at the bottom of this box.

Funding for the Commonwealth Catalog is provided by the MBLC and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The service is managed by Fenway Libraries Online with participation from the nine automated Massachusetts library networks and several public universities.
