Online Resources

The Nicholson Memorial Library System is pleased to offer library patrons home and office access to selected online resources and services. Most are subscription-only resources funded through the city or state. The information found on a database is usually of higher quality and typically cannot be found on the open web.

Click on the resource of your choice and, when prompted, enter your Nicholson Memorial Library System card number and PIN to get started. If you encounter any problems in accessing these resources, send an email or call your library at (972) 205-2500.
