TAKE AN INFORMATION CARD

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.

REFWORKS

�  RefWorks is an online database you can use to save and manage your references.  RefWorks was available to you as a student, and you can use it as an alumni too!

�  Just contact the library staff at Ask Us! and provide your name, your alumni email, your major, your degree, and year of graduation.

�  You will receive the instructions for setting up an Alumni account with RefWorks, which is free to you and available as long as the Library subscribes to RefWorks on behalf of the campus community.

BORROWING PRIVILEGES

�  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.

TOUR THE LIBRARIES �  When you are on campus, stop by and visit the

eight libraries that make up the Dartmouth College Library. Contact the Office of Alumni Relations at (603) 646-2258 or email dartmouth.alumni.relations@dartmouth.edu to arrange scheduling. 

�  During Homecoming, Commencement and Reunion weekends, climb the Baker-Berry Tower to see the outstanding views of the Upper Valley.

�  Visit the Rauner Special Collections Library for its unique collections, including the College Archives. See why the building has won a national architectural award for the unique redesign of the Webster Hall auditorium.

EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS

�  Exhibits and displays are on view in Baker-Berry Library main halls and main street, outside the Sherman Art Library, in Dana Library, in Kresge Library, and in Rauner Library.

�  The display of new books by Dartmouth authors is located in the King Arthur Flour Café off the Baker Main Hall, which was formerly the Berry News Center.

FRIENDS OF THE DARTMOUTH COLLEGE LIBRARY

�  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.

ALUMNI MEMORIAL BOOKS PROGRAM �  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.
