Research and Reference
In addition to traditional in-person assistance at the Library, we offer access to extensive resources and services online. The Internet is a popular source for information, but it frequently does not provide the quality of information you may need.
The West Falmouth Library provides access to high quality databases that contain articles and information that are not available on the “free” Internet. The following online databases are provided by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners Massachusetts Library System. You will need the bar code number from the back of your CLAMS library card to access these online resources.
