I’m an alumni/guest, can I use the Library databases?
Answer
Alumni and guests can access a select number of databases and the library catalog from any of the catalog computers. These computers do not have general web access, but alumni and guests are welcome to save available articles from the databases on a USB drive. Two of these computers are located on the second floor, on the back wall behind the staircase, and there are also computers at a standing height on the third, fourth, and fifth floors.
Alumni, guest borrowers, and campus visitors without a valid SU Campus Card are welcome to visit Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons Monday- Friday between 7:30am and 6pm. Access to the Library after 6pm is exclusive to current SU students, faculty, and staff with a valid SU Campus Card. Please note this is subject to change during holiday and break periods.
You can find more information about services for alumni here, and guests borrowers here.
At this time the following databases are available on these computers. This list is subject to change at any time:
