Research Guides: Journalism: What Do I Do When I Graduate?

Can I access the NYU resources when I graduate?

Unfortunately, once you graduate from NYU, you will lose access to most of our online resources. We have licensing agreements with each of these that prohibit us from allowing non-current NYU affiliates to access the resources.

But the good news is that as an NYU alumni, you will have access to a select group of online resources, via the Alumni e-library.

Access to NYU Resources Post-Graduation

Alumni E-Library
As an alumni, you have access to a select group of databases including: ProQuest Research Library, ABI-Inform (business), ProQuest Newspapers, and ProQuest Health Management. You can access these resources from offsite.
