Tips for New Alumni
Congratulations future graduate! Our staff looks forward to wishing you the best and hopes that your time with us was well-spent. This page of your guide exists to acquaint you with your options for finding and retrieving the information you may need as informed citizens and professionals.
In some instances, you may work for a business that has its own library or subscriptions to specialized databases. Wherever you go, do acquaint yourself, too, with your local public and academic libraries where you may be able to visit and to access many of their resources in-house and online.
As a public university and in keeping with its commitment to public service, our UW-Madison campus libraries welcome their larger community of researchers, and the general public, to visit. Many of our peer institutions, too, extend that welcome.
Online Library Portals and Openly-Accessible Databases
- BadgerLink, "Wisconsin's Online Library"Supplies Wisconsin residents with access to licensed content (from magazines, newspapers, scholarly journals, as well as video, image, and music collections). BadgerLink is a service provided by the Department of Public Instruction.
Many states provide similar online services for their residents. By way of example (or your future destination), take a look at these links to our neighboring states’ library services: Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan.
