Information for Alumni
Welcome to McKillop Library!
Congratulations on graduating from Salve Regina University! As an alumnus, you are allowed access to many of McKillop Library's resources.
Alumni Library Card
If you would like to borrow books and DVDs from the library, we can issue an Alumni Library Card. Just come to the front desk of the library, state that you are an alumnus and would like borrowing privileges. The library card entitles you to borrow books and DVDs from McKillop Library. Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to provide off-campus subscription database access or loan materials from other HELIN libraries or through Interlibrary loan. Alumni should contact their nearest public library to explore outside borrowing options.

Printing in the Library
In order to print in the library without a valid Salve ID, you will need to purchase a print pass from the kiosk on the 1st FL. Each black & white page will cost $ .10; each color page will cost $ .25. The print pass kiosk takes U.S. currency bills only and does not give change. The kiosk does not accept debit, credit or pre-paid cards. Print passes are valid for a year from the date of purchase.
