Off-Campus Access

How to access our materials off-campus

The library's contracts with our content providers limit usage of resources to currently enrolled students, faculty, staff, residents, preceptors, and supervisors. We can assist alumni in locating resources, but there may be a copyright fee to obtain the full-text. Occasionally we are able to help identify an institution local to the alumni that will provide access to their collections for walk-in users. Likewise, optometrists in the Memphis area may come into the library to utilize our collections. Some larger institutions are able to negotiate access for alumni, so approaching an undergraduate institution may be beneficial.
