Welcome to your Lesley Library Remote Services Guide! As we rollout more in-person services we will continue to offer our robust array of remote services, including virtual library reference services and research help. Scroll down for updated info on all of our services and resources and how to access them.
Whether you're studying and creating on campus or from home this year, we've got your back!
Search for electronic materials you can access anywhere, and physical materials you can schedule for pick-up, using the @LL Search bar on the library homepage: research.lesley.edu
Instructions for Linking to Electronic Materials:
Click on the title of a resource in your search results to view the full record. Click the Permalink button on the right-hand side and copy that link that pops up (links copied from the URL bar at the top will not work for others even if they work for you).
Instructions for Requesting New Materials:
To request an addition to our collections for consideration, you may use our Resource Request form. We prioritize e-books and streaming media for course materials, and can even purchase electronic versions of current print holdings.
Instructions for Returning Materials:
Checked out materials can be returned in the Library book drops outside of Sherrill Hall, Moriarty Library, and UHALL 3rd floor. Overdue fines will not accrue on Lesley materials this semester. Please start to return any books you are no longer using if you can, and if you want to keep them for longer or cannot return them right now, please email us at libcirc@lesley.edu.
