Welcome to Keuka College Alumni Library Resources Guide
Keuka College alumni are welcome to visit the Lightner Library in person to use our print and online resources on campus. However, because of licensing agreements, Keuka alumni do not have remote access to subscription databases such as Academic Search Premier and ProQuest.
There are many free online scholarly resources available, and this guide will connect you to many of them including: books, free databases, online journals, government websites, and statistics websites.
Public Libraries
Your local public library provides access to many databases and online journals and will request materials on Interlibrary Loan for their patrons.
New York Public Library
Any person who lives, works, attends school, or pays property taxes in New York State is eligible fo receive a New York Public Library library card free of charge. Once you receive your card, you will be able to borrow materials, download eNYPL content, and search Library databases. Check out the New York Public Library library card link for detailed information about applying for a library card.
New York State Community College Libraries
All New York State Community College libraries allow community members to check out materials. Their online database cannot be accessed from off campus but can be used if the patron is in the library. NYS libraries will also request materials on Interlibrary Loan for their patrons.
