Access Databases
Members of the Alumni Association have access to two online EBSCO databases as part of their membership benefits. These databases offer free, full-text electronic journal articles from more than 3,500 scholarly journals and magazines covering a wide range of disciplines.
If you'd like to access physical resources on campus, such as checking out books or using computers, you must purchase a Friends of the Library card. For more information about membership benefits, visit alumni.wvu.edu or contact the Alumni Association at 1-866-988-2586 or alumni@mail.wvu.edu.
