 Search the Statewide Library Database VIRTUALCATALOG       

MassCat is a library catalog of holdings from school, medical, law, special and a few public libraries. While some of the more specialized and intriguing materials cannot be taken out of the library, MassCat member libraries are committed to sharing their resources. We invite you to search the database and should you find items of interest, you are encouraged to contact the library to arrange an appointment to view their most specialized materials or to talk to your library about borrowing the materials for you to use.
