Online access to journals for University of Manchester graduates available!



If you graduated from the University of Manchester, you may already know that you can borrow up to 15 books, request journal articles and also access some electronic journals and databases by visiting the main library in person.

At the moment, the University of Manchester library is piloting a new scheme which gives alumni remote access to JSTOR journals. The pilot will run until the end of July 2014 and is available to use now. Alumni can access JSTOR through the Alumni Portal Service: Your Manchester Online. Enquiries should be directed to the Alumni Office on 0161 306 3066 or alumni@manchester.ac.uk.

Further information about access for alumni can be found on the University of Manchester Library website: http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/ourservices/servicesweprovide/alumni/

***NB: If you aren't a University of Manchester graduate, but you are an NHS employee, or Public Health member of staff, you can still join their library.***
Access is for one year and you can borrow up to four books at a time. You would have walk-in user access to a small selection of e-resources if you go to the main library in person. The list of resources available is here: http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/searchresources/walkin/ 
The membership form can be downloaded from the following webpage:
