Alumni Access
Do alumni have access HSL's electronic resources?
Our licenses limit off-campus use of electronic resources to current students, faculty and staff. They are not available to alumni off-campus, however anyone can visit the Health Sciences Library in-person to use UNC's electronic resources. There are several computers on the first floor that do not require an ONYEN to login. Ask the front desk for a guest login code.
