Alumni are welcome to visit the Library and utilize any of our print resources in the Library. However the Library can not offer borrowing privileges to alumni at this time.

Document Delivery/ ILL Services

The Library offers document delivery and Inter-Library Loan (ILL) services to alumni. There is no charge for interlibrary loan service to alumni provided the Library is able to obtain the item within the state of New Jersey. If the library cannot locate the item in-state a charge of $11 per item will be assessed. If the journal is held by the Stratford Library a charge of 25¢ per page will be charged for library staff to copy the article. Alumni are welcome to also sign up for the Loansome Doc program that allows subscribers to order copies of articles directly from a PubMed search.

Computer Lab

Stratford alumni have access to the Computer lab located in the Library. Software loaded on computers in the Microlab include Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, & PowerPoint), EndNote, and Adobe Acrobat. In addition a high quality scanner capable of scanning standard graphic files, text, and negatives X-Rays is available for use in the Microcomputer Lab.

Library Classes

Alumni are welcome to register for classes offered by the Library. Classes are meant to provide an introduction to an area of information management or performance improvement tools. Check the Library's Educational Services web page for current offerings and registration information.

Internet Resources/Toolkits

Toolkits contain selectively filtered links to highly useful and authoritative tools, such as databases, electronic journals and textbooks, selected Internet sites, and PDA resources by subject. Toolkits are not meant to be comprehensive compilations; rather they are powerful starting points in initiating research on a health topic. Many of the resources listed on the Toolkits web pages are to licensed resouces that alumni do not have access to off-campus, but some resources are freely available.
