Alumni Databases: Home/Multidisciplinary

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.

For ebook sites, search tips for using QuickSearch to find ebooks and articles, and more, visit the Alumni Resources guide.
