New JH graduates retain their JHED ID for six months after commencement. This grants access to most licensed library databases during that period.

Off-campus access to library resources is restricted by our database licenses to current students, faculty, and staff of JHU. To help address post-graduation access, the Alumni Association and the libraries have partnered to create Hopkins KnowledgeNet, which is the Alumni Online Library. A list of databases is here.

• This online library is free to all JHU alumni. You can access academic journals, e-books, and more. If you have questions, please contact the Alumni Office at alumni@jhu.edu, or call 410-516-0363 or 1-800-JHU-JHU1 (1-800-548-5481).
   
• Alumni may request materials held at the JH Libraries, including our off-site shelving facility. Ask for the form at the Service Desk in the MSE Library Annex, or call (410) 516-8370.
  
  
• If you are in/near Washington D.C., please note that the Frary Library (in the Hopkins Bloomberg Center) is not able to offer on-site access to databases. However, alumni may set up free borrowing privileges for Hopkins print collections. Contact librarydc@jh.edu for more information.
