Can alumni access online library resources like academic journals?
No. But for a good reason: Allowing alumni to access online journals for free would represent a violation of the contract The New School maintains with online publishers. When our library contracted with online publishers to make journals available via the Internet, it did so with the understanding that the online library resources would be available only to currently enrolled students, current teaching faculty, and currently employed staff. Extending access to other parties would therefore represent a clear breach of contract. We are not aware of an online publisher that would permit academic libraries to offer their resources at no charge to alumni. Should circumstances change, we will update our response to this query.
