Q. What library privileges do I have as a Miami alumni?

Graduating students: access to online resources ends 45 days after graduation.

Access to the Miami University Libraries' online resources ends when you are no longer a current student, staff, or faculty member.

Other Options

• Miami University alumni may obtain an Affiliated Patrons of the Libraries card by completing an application during business hours (Monday - Friday) in the Dean's Office (225 King Library) and by contributing a $25 tax deductible donation (cash or check) annually. Contact Heather Bennett for further details at (513) 529-2397 or bennethm@miamioh.edu. This card allows you to check out print and other tangible materials from the Libraries. This card does NOT provide off-site (remote) access to library databases due to license restrictions. Online databases and other electronic resources are available to you only while on site (from within a library on campus).
• If you have urgent research needs after graduation and are working with or are being sponsored by a Miami University academic department, you may ask that department to request a University Courtesy Account for you. Courtesy Accounts allow you to access the Libraries' electronic resources. The Libraries cannot initiate, maintain, or renew Courtesy Account requests on your behalf; you must contact the department you are affiliated with and the Department's Dean or Department Chair will request or renew an account through IT Services for you.
• Check with your local public library to see what resources they provide.
