How Will You Access Information after You Graduate?

Even though you can no longer access Manhattanville University's resources, you still have many other options available to you.

1. Become a member at a local public library. Public libraries also purchase resources for their users, and they may have databases where you can access reliable information. Also, there are librarians present that can help you locate information. Public libraries also provide a number of career services.

2. Visit a state university or college. Many schools funded by the state have public access computers where you can sit and access the same resources as a student or faculty member. They will also have community membership opportunities. Take advantage of this if you move to a new place that’s home to a public university. (For example, the public is permitted to use the Harold L. Drimmer Library at Westchester Community College, in Valhalla, NY).

3. Use the resources available on this guide. These authoritative and reliable resources will help you find information for personal or educational use.
