Hello 

Unfortunately, alumni do not have remote access to any of our databases. Our databases, including Future Snoops, are not available remotely unless you are a current FIT student or employee. Licensing contractual agreements do not permit unlimited access and we purchase access for only current students. 

We've also created a list of databases that we suggest for certain topics and that you might be able to use remotely from a public library near you. Check the Online Resources for Non-FIT Students for alternatives.

If you are still in New York City, NYPL has access to a wide range of both research and popular ebooks and databases, many are available remotely with a current NYPL card. https://www.nypl.org/research/research-catalog.

Additionally, you can always peruse our library research guides which will give topical suggestions for books and other open-access resources.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back or send another question. 

Best always.
