> Good morning:
>
> Last week I posted a query on how campuses handle alumni access to
> e-resources. I received a few responses and, I also want to share what
> I found by conducting a little “Yahoo” research. The campuses that
> responded to my email permit “walk-in” access to electronic resources
> which is not atypical of most license agreements. Concern was
> expressed over impact to budget to allow any other access.
>
> However by entering the query “library privileges alumni site:.edu” on
> Yahoo, I discovered a number of libraries that seem to offer databases
> with specific access for alumni other than “walk-in” user. Some of
> this access is offered in conjunction with a campus alumni offices;
> others have “alumni libraries.” There are certain vendors who set up
> databases normally offered to the campus community with a subset of
> content specifically for alumni. Pricing for these databases can be
> based on school FTE.
>
> Thanks to those who responded to my question. I hope this helps others
> who are considering alumni access.
