From: SANFORD G THATCHER <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 23:44:22 -0400 Why not count just alumni who are members of the alumni association? This privilege of accessing library resources should be a perk to increase membership, not a giveaway to all alumni no matter how little interest they may still have in the university. You might also restrict it to the alumni who donate to annual giving--again, use it as an incentive for fund raising. At Penn State, where I was employed for 20 years (and made an honorary alumnus on my retirement), there are well over 400,000 living alumni, but only about a quarter of that number are members of the alumni association (still making it the largest alumni association in the country).
