I am pleased to welcome Dartmouth alumni to this site which is designed to highlight the services available to you. As a way of keeping connected with Dartmouth, Alumni who are registered for the free Vox Online Network Account enjoy access to the Digital Library for Alumni, with its access to thousands of full-text articles in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. If you live in the Upper Valley area and visit our libraries in person, you have access to the full range of the Library's electronic databases, our unique special collections in Rauner Library located in Webster Hall, and can register for borrowing privileges from the Library's circulating collections. As a member of the Dartmouth alumni community, you may take full advantage of these services and more (without charge). We welcome your interest and use of our collections and services and look forward to our continuing association in serving you. |
Through special arrangements and funding, Alumni have remote access to a small selection of databases and full text journals, magazines and newspapers in the Alumni Digital Library. Due to licensing agreements and contracts, remote or off-site access to all the Dartmouth Library's electronic resources is available only to currently affiliated faculty, staff, and students.
When visiting campus, feel free to access our thousands of licensed electronic resources from any of the libraries, either at computers provided or by connecting to the Dartmouth Library Public wireless network using your laptop. Your local public or academic libraries may provide access to electronic resources on site as well.
Any alumnus/alumna of Dartmouth College (including undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools) or their widows/widowers are eligible for lifetime borrowing privileges. For more information about these and other privileges such as DartDoc, see the Alumni Borrowing Privileges website. Alumni borrowing privileges never expire, but the library card needs to be renewed every year.
The Dartmouth College Library is digitizing parts of our unique collections through the new Dartmouth Digital Library Services. We are currently digitizing Dartmouth dissertations and theses, as well as the Stefansson Encyclopedia Arctica and photographs from early arctic explorations, Samson Occom's letters and other manuscript materials. These unique collections will be available to alumni as they are completed. Future plans include chronicling the decades at Dartmouth by digitizing the College's film and photo archives.

Established in 1938 by Dartmouth Professor Herbert Falkner West, the Friends of the Dartmouth College Library has been an ongoing source of enrichment to the Library's resources for 70 years. Consider becoming a friend and enjoy lectures and other programming centered on research nurtured by the rich holdings of the Dartmouth College Library, holdings that help you to create and build.
This program was started in 1946 when the Class of 1914 conceived the idea of honoring deceased classmates through a special book purchase program. The Library carefully selects the memorial volumes and creates a special bookplate bearing the name of the classmate being memorialized. Since its inception, over 55 classes have participated in the program and over 12,800 books have been added to the library collection in memory of Dartmouth College Alumni. Class Officers interested in learning more about this program may contact Acquisitions Services, Baker-Berry Library at (603) 646-2593.
