<p class="MsoNormal">Hello collective wisdom,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As librarians, is it your understanding that our contracts must explicitly permit retiree access, or are retirees considered part of the “authorized users” group?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’d greatly appreciate any advice you may have.<o:p></o:p></p>
