Does UVA provide access to online resources for my research?
UVA alumni have access to more than 100 databases, on a broad range of topics. To access Library databases, visit the Alumni databases list. Once you click into a database, you'll authenticate using Netbadge to access the content. Email lib-ejournals@virginia.edu with any questions.
Additionally, UVA alumni have access to online research tools from EBSCO, Project Muse, ProQuest, and more. These resources are underwritten by the Library, but you must access these online resources through the Alumni Association.
Can I continue to check out physical books?
Yes! Stop by and use your student/alumni ID number to check out books.
What kinds of articles will appear in a results list when searching EBSCO resources?
Your search will result in full text articles! If you would like more results that may include citations and abstracts, simply uncheck the “Full Text” box when your search results are displayed.
Can UVA graduates use the same online resources that they had as students?
Yes, if you visit one of our physical libraries. The Library licenses these resources for current University faculty, staff, students, and walk-in users.
