Can I access the statewide databases from outside of Massachusetts?
Answer
Yes. You will need to have a public library card (barcode) to log into the statewide databases from outside of Massachusetts. If you are a resident of Massachusetts, study, or work in the state, you can register for a Boston Public Library eCard that can be used for this purpose.
