Welcome and congratulations, SU Alumni! Even though you’ve graduated, you still have access to some of the resources you were able to use while you were a student. This section highlights some of the resources that are still available to you as alumni, as well as some publicly available ones that are also free for you to use.
Alumni who have completed a degree program at Syracuse University, University College, or SUNY-ESF are eligible to obtain a free guest borrower card to check out materials from the Library for 28 days. Note that there are some restrictions; alumni can have 20 items checked out at a time, and can renew these items up to 5 times. We regret that we are not able to offer interlibrary loan service to alumni.
For more information on our alumni loan policies, please check our Borrowing Privileges.
Due to licensing restrictions, alumni access to our databases, e-journals, and articles is only available on campus. Register at the Bird Library circulation desk to obtain a computer key to use.
Also, check out the Free Online Resources for some similar resources that are freely and publicly accessible.
Alumni who make a minimum $50 annual gift to the Library gain off-campus access* to two ProQuest databases that include more than 7,800 popular online publications and scholarly journals. View the full list of titles [XLS].
