As the academic year comes to a close, the Health Sciences and Human Services Library wants students to know what resources they can use after graduation.


As the academic year comes to a close, the Health Sciences and Human Services Library (HS/HSL) would like our graduating students to know what resources they can use after graduation.

  • Journals and databases: Alumni are able to access HS/HSL’s electronic resources off campus for two months after graduation. After that, you will need to come to the library to access online journals and databases.
  • Free databases: Once your electronic access expires, you still will have access to public databases for literature, drug information, and more. A few examples are highlighted below. Additionally, be sure to investigate what resources you have through your new workplace and any professional organizations of which you are a member.
  • Citation managers: Mendeley and Zotero are free options available to manage your citations. To see how their features compare, visit our Citation Managers page.
