Alumni Access Policy

Himmelfarb Library is pleased to welcome alumni of the GW Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences, Milken Institute School of Public Health, and Nursing to use the library and to provide information on e-resources access.

On-Site Access

    • To obtain a GWorld Alumni card, please bring your current GWorld card (if you have one) and a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license or passport, to the GWorld Card Office at:
      • GWorld Card Office

Online Access

Selected premium online resources have been made available to alumni through the generous support of the GW Alumni Association and GW Libraries and Academic Innovation.  Unfortunately, Himmelfarb Library’s online collection is not available for remote online access by alumni due to our license agreements which permit remote access by current students, faculty, and staff only.
