Philadelphia Campus
TCLC, Tri-State College Library Cooperative,
is a group of academic libraries located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
and Delaware. PCOM faculty and students are permitted access to many
TCLC libraries upon presentation of a PCOM ID and a letter of
introduction authorized by a PCOM librarian. Selected TCLC libraries
permit direct borrowing. Check access privileges with a member of the
library staff before travelling to a TCLC member library.
The Library is also a member of PALCI, the PA Academic Library Consortium. Philadelphia campus users may access EZ-Borrow, a web gateway that supports simultaneous searching of member library catalogs, and directly request items. The required PALCI Patron ID is the LIB# on the PCOM ID.
