Alumni Information

graduates tossing their caps

Congratulations - you're an alum!

Whether you are nearby or far away, you'll always have special status at the libraries.

Create an account in the Swarthmore Alumni Portal to access databases available to alumni. This updated portal is not yet available to the class of '25, but don't worry - check out our LibGuide in the meantime - we've got you! (All will be well once your status as an alum in the system is finalized later this summer.)

If you're in the area and interested in borrowing privileges, see this page for detailed information on how to get started, what you may borrow, and how long you may keep it.

Database resources

Swarthmore graduates have ongoing access to electronic resources such as JSTOR, SAGE journals and videos, Project Muse, and Adam Matthew primary resources collections. Visit the Alumni Portal and register for access.
