Alumni Databases

By contract, remote access to the Rutgers University Library's indexes, databases, and electronic journals is available only to current Rutgers students, faculty, and staff.

However, there are many useful databases that are available without a subscription or institutional affiliation. We have assembled a select list of these here.

JerseyClicks Access restricted to New Jersey residents

Index to, and in many cases access to the full text of, thousands of articles and entries from magazines, newspapers, and reference books, as well as images and a full-text collection of government, business, personal and tax forms. Includes resources appropriate to middle school and high schools populations, as well as scholarly and research resources such as Business Source Elite. Search across databases simultaneously, or go to "Custom Search" and select the database(s) that you'd like to search.
