What About Print?

Spring 2023

Due to an ongoing renovation project, the print collection has been temporarily removed from the library building. However, if you are on the Boston campus, you can request print material from our off-site storage space using your Northeastern ID and password. Please allow up to 2 days for delivery.

Most of our collection is available online through Scholar OneSearch. If you need something that we do not own as an e-book, you are welcome to Recommend a Purchase. Please keep in mind that not all publishers sell e-books to libraries, and requests may be denied due to unavailability of a library e-book license.
