Services for Distance and Online Students

Any student who is taking only distance or online courses.  Students who are taking one or more on-campus or hybrid classes should come to Student Central in person to get a picture taken for a BHCC ID Card.

With an electronic library barcode, you can:

• Log into your library account
• Access the library databases from home

With an electronic library barcode, you cannot:

• Use it as a photo ID
• Get your refund
• Borrow books from the BHCC library
• Request books from other libraries
• Use the gym
• Use the shuttle

To use these services, come to Student Central on the Charlestown Campus and get a picture taken for your BHCC ID Card.

Electronic barcodes are free.

You should get a response via email within 24-48 hours.

Yes.  You can receive the password at the same time that you receive the electronic barcode.

Go to the NOBLE Catalog and type your barcode and library password.

The library's databases are located at the Library Databases webpage.

You will need your barcode and library password.  When you try to use the library's databases from home, you will see a page that asks for your barcode number and your password. Type these in the boxes and press Submit.

If you log in once, you should stay logged in for a little while. However, if you leave the computer for a long period of time, or if you shut down or put your computer to sleep, you will need to sign in again.

If you are unable to log into the databases from home, please come in, call, or email us ASAP.

Usually we can solve the problem quickly, but we won't be here if you're doing your research very late at night or very early in the morning, so it's best to get things fixed as soon as you can.
