Services for Alumni

UNB Libraries are pleased to offer the following services to UNB Alumni:

  • free borrowing privileges; and
  • off-campus access to selected electronic resources

Borrowing Privileges

UNB Alumni borrowing cards are available free-of-charge. For details or to apply for alumni borrowing privileges, please contact:

Please note that a valid New Brunswick address is required to obtain a borrowing card.

On-Campus Access:

While in our libraries, designated computers are available for use by alumni and the general public. The UNB Libraries' website offers access to our online catalogue and links to many of our collections and online research materials free of charge. Neither a University ID card or borrowing card is required.

Off-Campus Access:

Most of UNB Libraries' online resources (research databases, e-books, e-journals, e-newspapers) are restricted to current members of the university community based on licensing agreements with database vendors.

Currently Project Muse is provided for use by UNB Alumni. The database is licensed strictly for personal, non-commercial use.

For those who have utilized the alumni editions of the Academic Search and Business Source databases, we regret to inform you that, due to budget considerations combined with relatively low usage, UNB Libraries is no longer able to provide access. We apologize for any inconvenience.

For complete details, and to access the databases visit: Electronic Resources for UNB Alumni.

Access to selected electronic can be obtained by activating your alumni account through the Alumni web site.
