[Eril-l] Retiree access to electronic resources?

[van Sickle, Jennifer]

Our database access is tied to current & valid network credentials.  Those privileges here are extended to retirees and emeriti faculty.  I don't get many requests or reports of access problems from either group.  Alumni are on a different network, so their access goes away shortly after graduation.  We do get requests from alumni for remote database access, but are unable to provide anything at this time.

If our retired faculty have a email user name and password and access through the ez proxy server they can access the databases.
Or if they come into the library they can use the databases. We don't have many using them!
We have a few databases they alumni can use without having to pay higher fees. When we checked on this several years ago some of the databases charges were almost the same as the regular subscription. It was beyond our budget.

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.

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.
