Beyond Deakin: How the library supports alumni
Graduating from university? Congratulations! It’s a massive achievement in any student’s life. And while you’re heading out to the wide blue yonder, you don’t have to leave the support of your library behind.
Deakin Library has a range of services for our alumni. Complete a free membership application to open up the range of alumni e-resources and borrow from any of our campus libraries to help you with your lifelong learning.
In addition to accessing these resources, alumni members can:
- borrow up to 10 items for 21 days and renew twice
- use our newspapers, hardcopy journals, reference material and more
- obtain a Visitor Deakin Card from the Library Service Desk to use for a limited amount of photocopying
- get assistance from our library staff
- have the option to pay an annual fee to get library items posted to you directly.
Your alumni membership lasts for 12 months and can be renewed each year.
Check out our ‘Beyond Deakin’ guide to free, reputable sources of research to help your workplace decision-making, and our tips on establishing your online professional identity and keeping it up to date. While this guide was created by Health Liaison Librarians, there are lots of materials that will be relevant to alumni from any faculty.
Information will remain an important part of your life, and Deakin’s still here to guide you on your way. Best of luck in your career, and happy graduation!
