What services are available for non USM students and employees?

All University Libraries are open to the general public so that anyone may view materials housed in any of the library collections. The Anna library catalog may be used by anyone with an Internet connection. For access to electronic resources, such as article databases, public-access computers are available at each of the libraries.

Membership in the USM Alumni Association is open to the general public and entitles members to borrow materials and to use document delivery services at University Libraries. Members of the Alumni Association must register at the circulation desk of Cook Library or Gulf Coast Library before using library services.

Off-campus (remote) access to article databases is restricted to currently enrolled students and currently employed faculty and staff.
