  • research assistance at the Reference Desk in-person or by telephone

Borrowing privileges

  • Alumni cards issued at Access Services desks in the Libraries
  • check-out period 6 weeks, renewable once for 4 weeks, 6 item limit
  • no interlibrary loans (use your public library instead)

Electronic resources/online database access

  • on-site access to approximately 200 online subscription databases; present your alumni card at the Reference desk and ask to be logged on as a guest
  • remote access to databases for alumni unfortunately is not available due to licensing restrictions and cost issues
  • However, public libraries statewide offer residents remote database access: see our Other Library Catalogs page for links to major metro area public library systems
