Use Local & State Resources
When you aren't at Williams, take advantage of resources that are in your own backyard!
- Get a Boston Public Library ecard
- It provides remote access to online resources including audiobook and ebooks, streaming videos, and primary source databases
- Anyone who lives, works, or goes to school in Massachusetts can get a card
- Check out the website of your local public library or a big public library in your state
- Their collections may provide access to ebooks and databases not available at Williams
- Look for the visitor policy page of local colleges and universities
- Many libraries allow free onsite access to their print and online collections (though they may limit access during the COVID-19 pandemic)
- Some libraries charge a fee for access and/or borrowing
- Contact a Williams librarian if you need an official letter to access a library
