DePaul Alumni
DePaul alumni have access to a subset of library privileges (listed below) after graduation. This requires registering with Alumni Relations and obtaining a DePaul Alumni ID card. Alumni have access to guest computers within the library, and can obtain temporary access to the wireless network by visiting the Alumni Center.
The library cannot provide DePaul alumni with remote access to the library databases due to license restrictions. However, most licensed content is available to users who visit the physical library on campus. The library also provides information on a number of e-resources that are freely available to the public in our "open access" listings.
