Info for Graduating Students & Alumni

A guide to library resources available to graduates of the University of Notre Dame.

Updates to Alumni Google Services

The Alumni Association’s Google offering consists of three products that will be phased out beginning in November of 2022 and continuing through July 2023. If you use these services, you will be expected to save your content to a different location prior to the date the service is turned off. Alumni accounts are those ending in “@alumni.nd.edu”.

For more information on how to transfer your data before these retirement dates, please visit the my.nd.edu webpage Alumni Google Service Retirement.

Alumni Access to Licensed Resources

Access is restricted to many Hesburgh Libraries electronic resources by license agreements. Notre Dame alumni have access to some, but not all of the resources available when enrolled as a student in classes at the University. The resources currently available are listed below. You should be able to access them with your my.nd.edu account.

Project Muse Journals: Project Muse is a leading provider of digital humanities and social science content, offering complete, full-text versions of scholarly journals and books from many of the world's leading university presses and scholarly societies. Disciplines include literature and criticism, history, the visual and performing arts, cultural studies, education, political science, gender studies, economics, and many others.

 

This list will continue to grow as additional resources are made available to alumni.

Alumni Borrowing Privileges

 

  • If you are staying on campus after graduation with a research or employment position and you wish to have library borrowing privileges, your department must initiate the request through the Campus Card Office.
  • Library borrowing privileges will be granted, by request, to alumni living within 50 miles of the University. Contact Hesburgh Library Circulation to initiate a request for a Guest Borrower Card. The card is not immediately available and may take up to 14 business days to process. Applicants are notified by email when the card is ready for pickup.
