The Boston Library Consortium (BLC) is comprised of 20 academic and research institutions in the greater Boston and New England area.

As a member of the Boston Library Consortium, Brandeis University students, faculty, and staff may access and borrow books and other materials from BLC institutions as long as they present an active BLC borrowing card and a Brandeis ID.

Faculty and graduate students can apply for a BLC card at the Main Library InfoPoint or at the Science Library Information Desk.

Undergraduate students can apply for a BLC card at InfoPoint in the Main Library.
