Duke Alumni Card and OneLink

The Libraries offer physical borrowing of materials to Duke alumni at Perkins, Divinity and Music Libraries via the Duke Alumni Card. Registration for a OneLink account provides limited access to research databases once your netID expires after graduation.

To register for borrowing privileges,  bring your Duke Alumni Card to the service desk at Perkins, Divinity, or Music Library during regular business hours.

PLEASE NOTE: Materials may not be removed from the Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, but visitors can view materials in the Rubenstein Library reading room.

Database access

Post-graduation, most databases can be used by visiting the Libraries in person. To access select databases available to alumni while off-campus (after OneLink registration), follow the link below.

Access Databases

Alumni can also see a list of Open Access databases that do not require registration.
