Information, Please
Are you researching an industry for your job hunt? Writing a book? Or just hungry for knowledge like you were during your student years? From Alexander to Dana to Robeson, the world of Rutgers University Libraries is wide open to you. All Rutgers alumni have borrowing privileges and can make use of the library system’s vast resources.
Online Resources
Visiting a bricks-and-mortar Rutgers library gives you access to most indexes, databases, and journal collections. But the libraries have also provided a collection of bibliographic databases and other resources that you can access remotely. It’s a huge resource and it’s available to all alumni.
