We would like to launch this discussion list by encouraging you to share an overview of what is currently happening at your own institution in terms of the general approach to alumni and what the Library is providing.
For example, at Cranfield:
• Our library service supports over 1300 alumni and there are 17,000 active alumni
• The service is free and online only (no book loans) and marketed as an aid to CPD
• We offer access to a limited number of subscription databases plus RefWorks for Alumni. In addition, we have selected a number of quality web resources in relevant subject areas e.g. Aerospace/Engineering and Defence, and general information such as freely-available e-books and e-journals and sources of theses and patents
• Visit the website at: http://www.cranfield.ac.uk/library/cranfield/support/alumni/index.html
We look forward to hearing about what you all deliver!
