Information about the library and resources accessible for alumni and visitors

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. 

Available databases

The list below are databases that this library has identified as freely available and contain good and quality sources. Many have full text and some contain only an abstract and/or citation. Ask a librarian if you need assistance finding the full text of a source.
