Catalogs & Databases

The Library is a member of the CLAMS (Cape Libraries Automated Materials Sharing) network, a consortium of public and academic libraries located on Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Library patrons are able to use the CLAMS Library card at most of the libraries on the Cape and Islands.

It's easy to access CLAMS from your home computer at http://www.clamsnet.org . Simply direct your browser to the CLAMS web page. Here you may search and browse the

collections of all the libraries in theconsortium, find a link to the Commonwealth's Virtual Catalog, and search subscription databases, such as Infotrac, SIRS, and NEWSBANK. You may also request books to be delivered to you to pick up at a specific library and check your library account. To request books and check your account, you will need the barcode from the back of your CLAMS library card and a PIN number. Obtain a PIN number by calling your local CLAMS library. The Library also offers reference service, interlibrary loans and reserves.

New in 2006 is the Provincetown Advocate newspaper database, the Advocate Live!
and is the result of a one-year project to re-microfilm, digitize and index the Library's issues of the Provincetown Advocate and make them available on the Internet. The years 1918, 1931-1934 and 1936--1967 are currently available. Very soon, all available issues published before 1918 will also be loaded.

Now Available! Online Subscriptions to the following databases: Rosetta Stone Language Programs and Heritage Quest Online. Recorded Books has been discontinued as of 7/1/2007 and will be replaced with Overdrive. Sandborn Fire Insurance Maps for Provincetown are available on microfilm at the Library.
