Healey Library Joins Fenway Libraries Online

FROM: Daniel Ortiz, University Librarian

---

I am pleased to announce that Healey Library has recently joined Fenway Libraries Online (FLO), a group of academic and special interest libraries in the Boston/ Cambridge area.

For twenty years, FLO has implemented state-of-the-art library systems and provided its member libraries with new opportunities for cooperative collection development, particularly in the acquisition of electronic databases. By joining FLO, the university community will have access to more than a million books and other materials, which will be added to the list of resources in Healey Library.

Additional institutions that are part of the FLO membership include: Emerson College, Emmanuel College, Lesley University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Museum of Fine Arts, New England Conservatory, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Wheelock College.

I want to thank Provost Paul Fonteyn, Vice Chancellor of Administration and Finance, Ellen O’Connor, as well as all the UMass Boston deans for providing guidance and support in making this significant decision.
