Getting an Alumni Card

Your Western alumni card grants you borrowing privileges at all Western Libraries and the Affiliated University College Libraries. As an alumni library user, you are able to borrow items listed in our shared library catalogue, Omni. To borrow books from the library, you will need an alumni card from Alumni Relations & Development. 

Once you have your card, bring your new Western alumni card to any Info Desk for activation and then yearly for renewal. For details on how to request and pick up items, please see Alumni Library Services.

Use the tabs on the left to navigate the many free resources through Western Libraries and other institutions.

What Alumni Can Access

Access to Databases

Due to licensing agreements, Western Libraries cannot provide alumni with off-campus access to most electronic databases and resources available to currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff.

Off-Campus Research for Alumni lists the databases that alumni do have remote access to.

Many more of our databases and electronic resources are available to alumni using the guest computers located at any Western Libraries location.

Ivey Alumni

If you are an alumnus of the Ivey Business School, you can also use the Ivey Alumni Portal to:
