Library Privileges after Leaving Fontbonne
ALUMNI
Books and Audio-Visual Materials
Fontbonne University alumni are welcome and encouraged to utilize their borrowing privileges. A valid alumni card and a current driver’s license or other state identification are needed to check out items from the Fontbonne University Library. An alumni card can be obtained by contacting the Alumni/Development Office. The loan period and renewals are the same as for current students.

These resources are accessible to anyone in the library or at any computer on the Fontbonne University campus that is connected to the University’s network. However, due to software licenses, remote access to all electronic resources is available only to current Fontbonne University faculty, staff, and students.

Database Resources
These resources are accessible to anyone in the Library or at any computer on the Fontbonne University campus that is connected to the University’s network. Because Fontbonne e-mail accounts are terminated when staff employees leave the institution, there is no way to authenticate users. Therefore, remote access to databases is not available.
