Yes. As a Capella graduate, you have access to a subset of student library databases through the Alumni Library Portal. These resources include scholarly journals, magazine and newspaper articles, encyclopedias, e-books, and dissertations to support your ongoing professional and academic needs.
You may notice that fewer databases are available through the alumni library. Some publishers limit access to subscription content for active students, faculty, and staff. In other cases, vendors provide modified versions of databases for alumni with reduced full-text content to comply with publisher restrictions.
Capella has worked to offer the best available content within these limitations, and alumni are encouraged to use the library to support ongoing academic and professional growth.
