For our OPAC (online public access catalog), go to:

    NMSBVI website
        VI Resources
            click on either ON campus or OFF campus access to the library

The box in the top left of the screen has Other Links that may prove helpful.

While browsing the catalog there are several options for search parameters. Choose ones that best fit your criteria.

Our catalog is being updated and is in constant revision. Some information may not be accurate. Contact us if you have questions or need assistance using the catalog.

You will still need to visit, call, or email us a list of items you want to check out. There is no on-line check-out system available at this time.
