All currently enrolled RCC students, faculty, staff, and administrators, as well as students at other Massachusetts public colleges, are eligible for borrowing privileges. Please present your current RCC photo ID card (or Massachusetts public college ID card) at the Circulation Desk to borrow materials.
When accessing online resources off-campus, students, faculty, and staff will be prompted to authenticate with their RCC username and password.
Since RCC is a member of the Metro Boston Library Network (MBLN), RCC library users also have borrowing privileges from the other lending institutions of MBLN as well as access to online resources from the Boston Public Library (BPL). To access BPL online resources, RCC users will need to log in with their barcode and PIN. Students will have a barcode starting with RCC followed by their student ID number; faculty and staff will have a numbered barcode.
