Print Collections

Mason Alums and the general public may use Mason collections and online sources in person at any Mason Library.  For borrowing privileges, the Libraries offer the Library Passport Program.

Electronic / Online Collections

Most of the University Libraries' electronic resources (databases, e-journals and e-books) are governed by license agreements which limit use to current George Mason University students, faculty, staff, and on-site users of George Mason University Libraries.

When access to an online database, e-journal or e-book is purchased, a license agreement is signed with the particular vendor. These various licenses require the University Libraries to restrict off-campus, remote access to current Mason students, faculty and staff only.

Many public library systems provide remote access to online databases, e-journals and e-books.  Local public libraries providing remote access to online sources with a current public library card include:
