Alumni Databases

A change will soon take place in the way the Mardigian Library offers UM-Dearborn alumni access to electronic databases. Since early 2006, the library has conducted a pilot project to provide UM-Dearborn alumni free, off-campus access to four online research databases: ABI/INFORM, Ethnic NewsWatch, GenderWatch and ProQuest Research Library. Under the new program, the UM Alumni Association will provide its members access to a suite of seven electronic databases. This is a significant enhancement of the package the Mardigian Library has been offering.

All members of the UM Alumni Association will be eligible for this service under the new program.

UM-Dearborn alumni who are currently registered for database access through the Mardigian Library's program, but are not paying members of the UM Alumni Association, will receive a complimentary one-year UM Alumni Association membership, which will provide access to a subset of the suite of seven electronic databases available to paying members of the UM Alumni Association.
