Did you know you have a library card account?
Whether you’re enrolled full-time or taking just one course, as soon as you sign up for a MassBay class, you are assigned a library card number. That means you automatically have a library account, including access to all the resources the MassBay Libraries have to offer, like databases, books, videos and more.
Your ONE Card *IS* Your Library Card!
As pictured in the photos, your library card is on the back of your ONE Card (the MassBay Student ID). Note: If you do not have a ONE Card, you can access your library card number from Bay Navigator (more info on that below). However, we strongly encourage everyone to get a ONE Card because it’s a really useful tool as a student.
USE YOUR LIBRARY CARD TO...
Borrow books from Framingham campus and Wellesley campus libraries
Access electronic resources while off-campus
Borrow books at other HELM libraries
Borrow other materials, like DVDs, CDs, and audio books
Borrow electronic books and electronic audiobooks
Access databases for articles, encyclopedia entries and other resources
Request books and other materials through the Commonwealth Catalog interlibrary loan (ILL) system
Our Library Network: MassBay is a Member of HELM
HELM, Higher Education Libraries of Massachusetts, is an association of Massachusetts college libraries in public higher education. HELM libraries are also member of the Fenway Library Organization (FLO), a consortium, or group, of academic and special libraries in Massachusetts. This means in addition to the resources available at MassBay libraries, you can access resources from the entire HELM catalog.

ACCESSING YOUR MASSBAY LIBRARY CARD NUMBER FROM BAY NAVIGATOR
From any MassBay webpage, click on the Bay Navigator link located at the bottom of the page.
Enter your username and password. It’s the same as your computer login, email, and Blackboard. If you do not know your username and password, go to the Help Desk page and click on “What is my user name?” under the Quick Links in the right hand column of the page.
After logging in to Bay Navigator, click on “Main Menu” in the top left hand corner. Follow this path to retrieve your library card number: Main Menu > Self Service > Campus Personal Information > Library card/Student-ID Number
The link to your library card number will then appear on the page. Click the live link (underlined text).
That link will take you to the page in your Bay Navigator account that lists your library card number.
Print that as proof of your library card account if you do not have a ONE Card yet (the MassBay Student ID).
Use that number to access your MassBay Library Card account online and the library electronic resources from off-campus.
