The HELIN Library Consortium is composed of 7 academic libraries including the Community College of Rhode Island, Johnson & Wales University, Providence College, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams University, Salve Regina University, and Wheaton College.
Use the Library Catalog to find books, documents, DVDs, and other materials in the library. All the HELIN libraries share this online catalog, so you will see holdings for other HELIN libraries. Your RIC ID card will allow you to borrow books from all these institutions either online through "Place Hold" (HELIN request) in the Library Catalog or in person.
If you do not have a RIC ID, get one at the Campus Card Office in the Student Union. Your card can be used for:
- In-person borrowing
- "Place Hold" (HELIN) requests (average turn-around time is 3 to 5 working days) and
- "Request Item" (Interlibrary Loans) - items not held in RI may take 10 days to 2 weeks
