The HELIN Library Consortium is a network of academic and special libraries in RI which share a library catalog. The ID-holding members of HELIN institutions (staff, students, faculty) can borrow materials on site at any of the member libraries or through the Request from a HELIN Library feature of the catalog. HELIN loans generally take 2-4 days to arrive.
Electronic resources, i.e. databases, e-books etc., are licensed to individual HELIN Libraries and, therefore, can only be accessed remotely by cardholders at those institutions but RIC patrons can use the e-resources on site at any of the HELIN libraries.
