Instructional - E-nnouncement: 5/12/2023

You’ve made it, and we are so very proud of you. Know that as you step out on your own into the future, you will never be completely on your own. We are still here to support you the best we can.

One of the most common questions we get after graduation is, “Will I lose access to all of the Harrison Library electronic resources that I have depended on so greatly during my time here?” The answer is no! Soon IT will be transitioning you from your ssw.edu Gmail to an alum.ssw.edu Gmail. This will be the key to continuing to use our resources. While you will still have access, as an alum your access will be slightly different from what you had while you were a student. Your status change requires new licensing from participating providers. Some resources will not be available, but what we can provide is still substantial. Take a look in the Resources column to see what will be available to you.

You will most likely be using your personal and work emails more frequently. As you may recall, sometimes these other emails can cause error messages when trying to access our e-resources. Until your device is able to recognize your new alum.ssw Gmail, remember to log out of all other accounts. You can always refer to the Instructional - Accessing e-Resources libguide if you need some guidance. You may need to refer back to this guide whenever you use our resources from a new device so keep it handy.

As always, we are here to assist you in any way we can. You can reach us at library@ssw.edu. Despite the distance, you will always be a very important part of this community.

Don't forget to check out the Instructional - Guide to the Harrison Library for Southwest Alumni and the Instructional - Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Services libguides. You'll find more great news for alumni there.
