Galvin Library subscribes to numerous research databases on behalf of current students, faculty, and staff, as well as to any other users having access to the University's WiFi network or the EduRoam network while on campus. Regrettably, because of publishers' licensing restrictions on subscribed resources, we cannot provide remote access to subscribed resources for alumni or others. Alumni and others are encouraged to use the "Resources for Alumni & Others" tab to find resources available to them from off-campus.
