The Macquarie University Library has expanded its suite of databases, journals, ebooks and borrowing rights to alumni.
Alumni membership to the Macquarie Library continues to be ‘free for life’ and alumni can now access 42 databases across 20 platforms. These provide alumni with over 19 000, 5 000 ebooks and 7 000 videos. Additionally, alumni can now access over 350,000 other documents, surveys, reports, and historical material like playbooks, postcards, posters, letters, and more (please note that the nature of some of this material could be a single page or less).

I graduated BA 5th May 1989.
I taught in the Law School from 1975 to 1989 and in Business Law from 1989 to 1999
I would like to be able to access journal articles, especially in history.
I am always met with a refusal becuse I do not belong to a recognised institution.
Can this be rectified with LibMQ?
Woo hoo! Great thank you
