As an NAU alumnus/alumna, how do I access library resources over the web?
At this time Cline Library does not provide remote access to library databases or paid electronic resources to alumni. “Alums are welcome to come into the Library and use these resources, but because of license agreements for the paid resources, remote access is only provided to currently enrolled/employed students, staff and faculty affiliated with NAU.” Bruce Palmer, head of library tech services, adds: “The cost of providing access to these resources is generally based on FTE enrollment, or the number of potential users; the higher the number of potential users, the higher the cost. The current Library acquisitions budget is not able to support the additional costs that would result from adding the number of NAU alumni to the FTE enrollment figure. The Library continues to explore various options for providing access to alumni, but we have not, as yet, found a feasible solution.
