All NYU Alumni are welcome to use the NYU Shanghai Library. Alumni can use all physical collections when inside the library but do not have borrowing privileges. Given the size of our space and collection, we can accommodate a maximum of 20 alumni each day. Access is on a first come first served basis.
In addition to onsite privileges, alumni also have free, online access to Alumni e-Library, a collection of premium electronic resources, such as ProQuest and JSTOR. To use these resources, please visit Alumni eLibrary.
Alumni should make an appointment at least 3 business days in advance. Approved appointment will be notified via email no later than 1 business day prior to the visit.
Alumni should enter and exit the campus through the main entrance on 567 West Yangsi Road and present their approved visitor’s QR code, along with Chinese National ID, Passport or Driver's License to access the library. Please inform the campus receptionist that you are visiting the library as an alumnus/a. Please note that your visit is restricted to the library's open area during the library services hours. Please kindly note that all library users must abide by applicable library policies.
