<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;" class="">In case readers might be interested in the experience of a library that does
<span style="text-decoration: underline;" class="">not provide alumni access</span> even in instances when the license allows it to do without any additional charge, I want to share the information on the challenges that UNC faced and has not been able to resolve.</p>

</span></span>Does the university or library have a mechanism that would allow alumni to authenticate using its current sign-on system as opposed to current faculty, students, and staff?

</span></span>Contract legal language often limits access to <i class="">only</i> valid alumni: that is, former students who have matriculated. Additionally, as a rule publishers and vendors explicitly have indicated in some instances that alumni access cannot
be extended to all members of the local alumni association. </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-family: 'Courier New';" class="">o<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">

</span></span>Politically and practically the alumni association could/would not limit access to e-resources only to those who actually have graduated from the institution: that is, alumni access to library resources would have to be part of the standard benefits
of for all members joining the alumni association whether or not they ever attended the institution—much less graduated. Otherwise, the association would create a two-tiered membership of “real” versus “fake” alumni.
</li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;" class=""><span style="font-family: 'Courier New';" class="">o<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span></span>As a matter of policy, the alumni association would not extend its benefits to non-members—especially since doing so would remove the incentives to become a paid member.
