A Notice for Graduating Students

Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

As a grad you will still have some library privileges. You will lose access to many databases and online resources you used as a student. But you will still have free access to a range of online library resources including ATLAS, the full-text subset of ATLA.

Access ATLAS and other grad resources from the Electronic Research Resources for DTS Grads page. (Attempts to access online resources from any other page at the library website will fail.)

Why don't grads have access to the full range of student resources? There are both legal and financial constraints on access. The vendors from whom we license electronic resources typically allow us to offer remote (off campus) access to current faculty, students, and staff, but specifically prohibit us from offering remote access to former students, faculty emeriti, or the general public. We are legally obligated to restrict remote access. Some vendors do give us the option of providing DTS grads with remote access to selected resources if the library pays an additional fee. We can afford to pay those extra fees for only a few databases. But we think that what we do pay for will serve you well in the ministry.
