Databases available in all M.A.I.N. (NJ) public libraries

These databases are available in all public libraries belonging to the M.A.I.N. consortium. Most of them are also accessible from your own home or office computer. All you need is a valid library card issued by one of the libraries in M.A.I.N.. Your patron ID number is the 13 digit number underneath the barcode on the back of your library card. Enter the number without the spaces. If you don't have a library card (or if your card number doesn't work) contact your home town library.
