New Online Library Access for Alumni.

Beginning July 1, 2006, Alumni Association members will have online access to more than 4,000 magazines, newspapers, periodicals, scientific and professional journals and trade publications. The database, ProQuest/ABN-INFORM Complete, includes current and archived issues in full text and/or abstract versions. In addition, users can perform basic and advanced queries such as subject and key word searches.

Although license restrictions prohibit alumni access to all of the data bases that the three UI libraries make available to the campus communities, the University Librarians and the Alumni Association staff are glad to provide this new benefit that will extend the reach of the University’s world-class libraries to UI alumni living in all 50 states and more than 125 countries of the world. Until now, these services have been available only to UI faculty, staff and students with a University net-id.
