[Eril-l] Retiree access to electronic resources?

[Jeanne Little]

Laurel,

We are starting to inquire at the time of new online resource purchases,
whether our Emeritus faculty and our Alumni have access. These two groups
retain their login credentials after they leave the university. If they
forget them, we direct them to campus IT who can assist them in re-setting
passwords that they might have forgotten.

We do not just assume these groups can have access so we inquire if a
specific resource's access is asked about. We have also started keeping
track of this information in our online records also (we have Ex Libris'
Alma/Primo, so this information is noted in the downloaded license and/or
in a note field in the POL whenever we confirm this access).
Best,

Jeanne Little
