For Alumni
The Western Libraries and the C.B. “Bud” Johnston Library are continually working to improve access to the resources and services we offer. The purpose of this website is to help alumni learn more about what we provide and how one can go about getting access. Our plans to offer proprietary resources are limited only by the general unwillingness of the vendors to provide access and by the significant additional costs that are often required. Continue to visit this site for updates and be sure to follow the developments that will be posted on the Western Libraries website under “Alumni and Visitors”.
