In accordance with the mission of the University of Massachusetts Lowell to support regional economic development, the Library offers its resources and services to corporations in the Greater Lowell area.

We welcome and encourage our corporate neighbors to take advantage of our vast array of resources and services.  

The Library collections include both print and digital materials to support learning and research in the areas of Business & Finance, Science, Engineering & Technology, and the Social Sciences and Humanities.   Our in-house print collections consist of over 300,000 monographs and 500 journal subscriptions.  Subscriptions to over 300 online databases give us access to over 13,000 journals in full-text plus a wide array of reference materials.  Our membership in the Boston Library Consortium, consisting of 19 Academic Libraries in the New England area, and interlibrary loan services through the OCLC online national catalog, connecting us to over 21,000 libraries in 64 different countries, guarantee success when searching for research and technical information.


POLICY:  The Corporate Patron Library Card provides borrowing privileges, interlibrary loan services and assistance from expert subject specialists with literature searches to any designated employee of the company during the annual subscription.  Services are offered on a cost-recovery basis.  


LIBRARY CARDS are available to any corporation or organization for an annual fee of $200.  A library card allows borrowing privileges from the UMass Lowell Libraries of up to five books for a period of 28 days with one renewal.  Extended renewal is possible if the book is not on a waiting list.

INTERLIBRARY LOAN

Our membership in the BLC and OCLC provide access to monographic and journal literature available from libraries throughout the world.  We guarantee timely delivery of information, in some cases directly to the desk-top.  The cost of borrowing books or journal articles from another library is $10 per transaction plus any fees incurred to obtain the item.

 
PRINTING

Copying of library materials is available in-house @ $0.15 per page or through our copying service @ $25 per transaction or article. The Library adheres to the copyright law.
