As an alumni, you still get full on-campus access to library resources at any GVSU library location. Your alumni association membership card doubles as your library card, allowing you to check out up to ten items at a time. You are also able to access databases within the library. If you don't already have an alumni association membership card, you can request one online.

Please visit our Borrowing Policies webpage to see full details regarding Alumni borrowing limits. Because we currently don't have the ability to set up online accounts for Alumni, you will need to call, email, or message the Library in the event you have questions about your account or need to renew your items.

Unfortunately, we can't offer alumni off-campus access to databases at this time due to contract limitations with our database providers. If you are near campus, we would love to have you visit and use the databases in-person. If you are still in Michigan, but are too far from Allendale or Grand Rapids, we suggest using the MeL list of databases, a free resource available to all Michigan residents with a valid state ID. Additional resources are listed in the GVSU alumni subject guide.
