From: "Sowards, Steve" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 13:43:45 +0000 This is also the position taken by the Michigan State University Libraries. The university expects that retired faculty will continue to participate in active scholarship, and they continue to have access to a variety of supporting services, including remote access to licensed content. I have asked around in the past among some of our peers, and they hold the same position. Steven Sowards Associate Director for Collections Michigan State University Libraries 366 W. Circle Drive East Lansing MI 48824 -----Original Message----- From: "Kearney, Richard" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2016 15:04:24 +0000 This question might be worth a few "me too"s, given the increasing complexity of some licenses. Our perspective is that Emeritus Faculty are "Faculty" (i.e., authorized users) for the purpose of access to licensed resources. Most of them are active scholars who retain their affiliation with our institution, including faculty email accounts and other University/Library privileges. And this is a small population anyway. *************************************************** Richard Kearney Electronic Resources Librarian David and Lorraine Cheng Library William Paterson University Wayne, NJ 07470 [log in to unmask] *************************************************** From: WMC <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2015 03:28:31 -0500 Dear Steve, This doesn't answer your excellent question below directly, but I work with several Emeritus Faculty who definitely have access to their library's respective licensed electronic resources. You are correct of course in noting they retain an ".edu" faculty email account. Bill Bill Cohen, Publisher Harrington Park Press
