Class Notes

Maybe you want to be able to access news from papers and magazines around the world.

Or perhaps you want to start a business, but need to do in-depth market research.

Your ability to access information through the University Libraries doesn’t end when you graduate. As an alumnus, you can sign up for full, free access to some of the largest online databases of scholarly and magazine articles, news from trade publications, and newspapers from around the world.

The premium databases include:

JSTOR: Full-text scholarly articles from all disciplines, dating from the 19th century to the past five years. Subject areas include business, ecology, economics, education, finance, history, literature, mathematics, population studies, and more.

Proquest Alumni Edition: Full-text articles on all topics, with a focus on business. Includes current and past issues of journals, magazines, newspapers, and trade publications; country and industry reports; and some market data.

Sage Journals: Full-text journals in a variety of disciplines, including current and past issues. Areas include business, humanities, social sciences, science, technology, and medicine.

A University Net ID number is all you need to access the resources. You can get one by emailing alumni@rochester.edu with your name (include maiden name, if applicable), address, class year, and school. You’ll receive a one-time code and instructions for receiving the ID.
