The Virginia Tech Libraries have licensed a small selection of databases (sources of journal articles and ebooks) for use by Virginia Tech alumni. While most of our databases are licensed solely for use by current students, faculty, and staff, these select databases combined with our vetted list of freely accessible, scholarly databases and the licensed databases available to you through your local public library provide a wealth of academic, consumer, and business publications and data.
Access to these select licensed resources are controlled through the Alumni Library Portal sign in service. By authenticating with your PID and password, the databases will recognize you as a Virginia Tech alumnus and allow access to their content that is included in our subscription. Please note that access to any materials through any given database may be limited.
In addition, anyone can access the majority of our restricted databases while on campus at any of our branch libraries.
