Library Information for New Alumni

Alumni are welcome to visit the University Libraries and take advantage of their resources. An alumni ID card (available from the Commodore Card Office, 184 Sarratt Student Center, 322-2273, for a one-time $10 fee) gives you borrowing privileges and access to all the Vanderbilt Libraries. Adding cash to the Card at the Card office will allow for printing at all the libraries, including WML.

On-site Access, Borrowing, and Reference Services

After graduation, an Alumni VUCard provides all Vanderbilt alumni with access to the Walker Management Library and the other Vanderbilt libraries. In the Walker Library, alumni may check out books, use most electronic databases, and receive assistance with research.

Research Services

Alumni may request custom business information and research via Walker’s Business Information Service (615-322-2728; fax: 615-322-5136; bis@owen.vanderbilt.edu). The membership fee for this service is waived for Owen alumni and alumni receive a discounted research rate ($75/hour plus any incurred costs such as database charges).

Remote Access to Databases

As Owen alumni, you have remote access to several databases through the Walker Management Library. By using our Owen Alumni Databases, you’ll have access to a broad range of current business and general information, and from specific databases including Career Search, Vault and WetFeet.

For more information about Library Services for Alumni, please see the Alumni section on our website.

Welcome back!

We hope you had an enjoyable Spring Break.  As you get back into the swing of things, remember that we are here if you have any questions about reserving rooms, finding course materials, or if you just need help with that research you’ve been putting off.
