The Boston Library Consortium (BLC) was founded in 1970 to promote regional resource sharing. Today, the BLC includes academic and research libraries in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire.
If you're a member of another BLC library, you can use your BLC card to borrow physical items at Tisch Library and its branches.
Register as a BLC member at Tufts
At your home institution's library, ask about applying for a BLC card. When you have completed your application and received your card, you may then present your BLC card and photo ID at the Information and Circulation Desk at Tisch Library to register for borrowing permissions.
Borrowing materials
As a BLC card holder, you will be able to borrow books and scores from Tisch for up to 28 days. You may also borrow CDs and DVDs for up to 14 days.
Database access
Some of the online databases and subscription services available to Tufts may be accessed by BLC patrons through the public computers in Tisch Library. This availability varies on a per-subscription basis and is subject to change, so we unfortunately cannot provide a comprehensive list of which resources are available to BLC patrons at this time. If you have questions about a specific database or subscription, please inquire at the Tisch Information and Circulation Desk.
