We are proud to share that seven of our student library assistants are graduating this May! We look forward to seeing them all again and to what their futures hold.

How can I access McQuade’s Library Resources online?

To access McQuade's online resources, it is best to find resources through the library's website.
Here off-campus users will be taken through the library's authentication/proxy system and be asked to enter their Merrimack username and password, the same you would use for MyMack or Blackboard. 

If you have problems contact a librarian by emailing mcquade@merrimack.edu or if open, use the Chat box at the library's homepage or on most research guides.

The McQuade Library’s digital archive -- Merrimack ScholarWorks-- is a platform for collecting, distributing, managing, publishing, and preserving digital (electronic) information created by Merrimack College faculty, students, and staff.

Who can contribute content?  Any college, department, center, or other unit of the College can participate as a community in the Merrimack ScholarWorks.  

Why should I contribute research/scholarship/creative work to Merrimack ScholarWorks? Merrimack ScholarWorks provides increased visibility and impact for your work, allowing barrier-free discovery by tools such as Google Scholar. The repository also provides long-term, stable preservation of your content, and gives you more control over access to your own work. By depositing your work, you help to demonstrate the scientific, social, and economic value of Merrimack College to the local community and to scholars and researchers worldwide.

Please email scholarworks@merrimack.edu if you are interested in adding your work to MSW or if you have questions. 

McQuade Library is thrilled to collaborate with nursing professors to work with FYE nursing sections and in the creation of video lessons for nursing students.  Librarian CJ Wong is creating videos to help nursing students navigate the McQuade website, the Nursing Research Guide, and databases to complete their assignments.  

Librarian C.J. Wong created an Online Science Teaching Resources LibGuide with many links to virtual lab resources and Open Educational Resources.

McQuade's Virtual Library is always open and our staff continue to support remote learning in many ways.   Librarians have connected students with electronic textbooks, helped faculty use databases and streaming media, offered numerous virtual library workshops and research appointments, produced videos, troubleshooted remote access issues, and more.  

Librarians created a Continuity of Library Services Guide which offers Information on getting library books, articles, and research help while the campus is closed.
