Alumni 足球竞彩app排名 Privileges

足球竞彩app排名 access, borrowing and database access for Wits Alumni

Cards

Alumni should obtain access cards to the University Campus and to the 足球竞彩app排名 from the Office of Alumni Relations on the West Campus. A charge is made for a card, which is a personalized ICAM picture card. Please note that all libraries are now cashless. Copying and printing must be paid for with an ICAM card, which can be loaded with cash on cash terminals on all campuses in the following locations:

  • Solomon Mahlangu House Ground Floor: next to Cashiers
  • The Matrix: between Umthombo and the Matrix Buildings, East Campus
  • Tower of Light: Outside the Commerce 足球竞彩app排名, West Campus
  • Wits 足球竞彩app排名 of Management, Parktown
  • Education 足球竞彩app排名, Education Campus, Parktown
  • Medical School, Parktown: next to the Standard Bank ATM

Borrowing

The Office of Alumni Relations will accept additional payment for 足球竞彩app排名 borrowing privileges. The Alumnus card will then be activated for borrowing a maximum of 2 books at a time for a 7-day loan period, with renewals permitted online or at the desk. Fines are charged for books not returned or renewed.

Access to electronic resources

Alumni can access and search any part of the 足球竞彩app排名 website remotely (i.e. off campus, at home, in another country, etc) except for the electronic resources accessed under research resources. Electronic resources (databases, e-journals, e-books) can only be accessed from a computer in any Wits 足球竞彩app排名.

Alumni should ask a librarian to log them on to the internet using a guest password. 

Please note:
Alumni and other external permit holders are not able to have use of a guest password after 5pm when 足球竞彩app排名 full time staff are not available. Licence restrictions do not allow alumni to have remote off-campus access to electronic databases, e-journals, e-books.

SAGE Premier online database

All alumni who pay for library access are now able to access the SAGE Premier Online database.

To start off users must visit the library homepage to create a 足球竞彩app排名 PIN (the PIN will allow access to the database off campus). Click on the ‘My 足球竞彩app排名 Account’ button and follow the steps to create a PIN (it MUST be numbers only).

To access SAGE click back to the 足球竞彩app排名 home page, click on the Electronic Databases link and on that page click on the ‘S’ to click through to the databases starting with ‘S’.

Downloading

Results of searches can sometimes but not always be downloaded onto memory sticks. Searches can be printed on 足球竞彩app排名 Pay-for-Print connections using Kudubucks loaded on an Alumnus card.
