[Eril-l] Retiree access to electronic resources?

[Steve Oberg]

We’ve talked about this quite a bit at my institution. We extend full privileges to emeriti faculty, but not to retired faculty or staff. Our reading of our existing contracts (whether or not they are explicitly identified/named as such) is that this is permissible.

Subject: [Eril-l] Retiree access to electronic resources?

Hello collective wisdom,

We are wondering how common it is for academic libraries to allow retirees access to electronic resources, outside of the library, using an institutional login?

As librarians, is it your understanding that our contracts must explicitly permit retiree access, or are retirees considered part of the “authorized users” group?

I’m considering retirees to be people who used to work at the institution but who are now officially “inactive” from an HR perspective, who separated via retirement and not quitting/being fired.

We’d greatly appreciate any advice you may have.
