"Why can't I access electronic resources from the library after I graduate?"
Library Services After Graduation
- You will no longer have access to Simmons Library electronic resources. Access to materials is always available by coming to the Library and using a guest computer.
- You can still check out circulating materials from Simmons Library with an Alumnae/i Card, which may be obtained from the Alumnae/i and Friends office.
- You are free to come to Simmons Library and use a guest login to access most online materials when the library is open. Please note that at the ends of semesters, due to peak use, access is restricted to current Simmons students and employees with ID cards. If you need to access the Library during restricted hours, please complete the Simmons Library Request for Access form for an appointment.
- Take advantage of your local public library for some database access and for interlibrary loan services. You may be able to request materials from large research libraries and have them delivered to your local library at little or no charge. If you're in Massachusetts, be sure to get a Boston Public Library card.
- If you do not live near Boston, try visiting an academic library near your location. Public universities often allow visitors guest privileges, so you can search their library databases, read, print off, or email full-text electronic articles at no charge.
