Information about the library and resources accessible for alumni and visitors

Alumni Association

If you are not yet a member of the Alumni Association, find out more here

While many library databases are not available to alumni off campus, JSTOR is an exception. JSTOR Alumni access is provided by the SVSU Alumni Association as a benefit to its members. It is a multi-subject database offering full text articles covering many topics. You must be a dues paying member of the Alumni Association to use JSTOR off campus. 

Search With Zahnow

Search With Zahnow is a discovery tool and is available to alumni and visitors off campus, though access to full text articles is limited to open access items. Starting your search here will provide results from at least 50 databases. If you are off campus, you should be able to access anything that is "open access" or freely available. Other resources will require current enrollment or employment at SVSU in order to access them off campus.
