Reference & Research

Please email our Information Desk with your questions, visit us in person, or call 508-624-6900, ext. 3.

Reference librarians can...

  • Help you locate, access or borrow information resources in our collection, the C/W MARS network of Libraries, and in libraries across the state and country.
  • Help you borrow e-books and audiobooks from the C/W MARS digital catalog.
  • Make recommendations for something new to read/watch/listen to based on previous materials you liked.
  • Provide test proctoring for online courses (please email the reference department for more information).
  • Take recommendations of materials you think the library should own.

Try It Out!

  • Can't make it to the library to ask your question? Send a reference question to one of our reference librarians.
  • Please visit our Read and Listen page to learn more about how to borrow digital materials from the C/W Mars Digital Catalog.
  • Browse our list of Databases, which can give you full-text articles or citations on a wide variety of subjects.
  • Ask a librarian to Request an Item. If you can't find the item you're looking for in our catalog, it's likely that one of our librarians can order it for you from another library.
