Library Access

[airmont]

Hi everybody,

Thanks for any help. I am so frustrated!!

I completed my undergrad and therefore no longer have access to the university library. However in preparation for application to grad programs this year, I am continuing to work as an RA and have some other projects that require database and journal access.

Has anyone else been in this situation? Any advice? I am even willing to purchase membership if necessary. HEEELLLLPP!!!!!

Thanks.

Public library?

Seriously....they should have online access to everything you'd need.

Give a call to your alumnus library, mine gives memberships for $12 a year.

Thanks, but my local library has nothing.

No access for alumni either.

Any other ideas??

Can you go to the campus to use the library services? I think that at least a couple of my schools' libraries didn't ask you to log in to search the databases as long as you were doing so from a computer on campus.

As your supervisor-- if you're employed at a university, the prof should be able to get you access...

Unfortunately the community clinic at which I work relied on my undergraduate access until now. They have no money for their own. Is there any university that allows subscription to its library?

Ah, I didn't realize. In that case, you'll probably need to find a local library, university, or college that subscribes and allows public access to its on-campus computers.

Contracts usually prevent universities from offering e-journal access off-site to anyone who is not a student, employee, or (occasionally) alumnus.

that stinks. i know through my college email i still have online access to journals -- they really don't have that? mine wasn't that fancy either. i guess you could purchase access though an apa membership (or get a psychologist you may know through the clinic or school to give you access to thiers). at our public library we can access psychlit and psych articles online.
