Remote access to selected databases via Digital Library for Alumni
Databases licensed for alumni use are linked from the "All Available Resources" page of this guide. Ignore the login option on the upper right of the Digital Library for Alumni top banner -- that's the login associated with the library catalog system for physical loans/renewals. Instead, click through to the licensed database you need (De Gruyter, JSTOR, etc.). You'll be prompted for your netID.
Library card for borrowing physical items
Alumni living in the Hanover area can visit the Baker-Berry Circulation Desk to register for an alumni library card (free!). That will create a new alumni patron account in our system allowing one to borrow material from the physical collection, to use interlibrary loan, etc.
In-person access
Nearly all of our library databases are available to campus visitors - current students, alumni and guests alike. No card needed. You just need to use one of our public computers or connect your own device to the "Dartmouth Public" wifi so that the database can recognize the Dartmouth network.
Are you looking for another digital resource not available here? Your local public library may be able to help! Local public libraries often provide access to online resources like eBooks and eAudiobooks (Libby, Hoopla,etc.), streaming media (Kanopy, Hoopla, biblio+, etc.), language learning tools, and databases.
If your local public library does not currently provide access to these resources, consider becoming a paying non-resident member of another public library to supplement your resources. Local Upper Valley public libraries like Lebanon Public Library, The Howe, and Norwich Public Library all offer non-resident cards that invite access to their physical and digital collections for a yearly fee. If you have questions about non-resident cards or the services offered by a particular public library, we encourage you to reach out them directly.
