- Use materials and services at Cudahy Library, Lewis Library, and the Health Sciences Library.
- Borrow up to 100 items at a time.
- Request Libraries books for pickup at a circulation desk.

Research Guide
Please see our Alumni Resources Research Guide for more information about Libraries resources and services for Loyola alumni.
Limitations
Due to contractual agreements with our license providers, we are unable to offer alumni off-campus/remote access to electronic resources. Access to a select number of resources is available on campus via guest workstations in the Information Commons and Lewis Library. Please see the staff at the service desks to obtain a guest computer log-in.
The Libraries are unable to provide alumni with items via Interlibrary Loan. Alumni can request copies of articles available at a different Libraries branch or the Library Storage Facility. Please see Alumni Intercampus Article Request for details.
