Caroline,
Just to let you know that universities subscribing to the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development's online services and periodicals can
offer their alumni access to our e-services via password. OECD does not
charge any extra fee to enable librarians to offer this service, it is
included in the standard subscription price. Whether librarians choose to
charge alumni is something for them to decide! Our service, SourceOECD, is
used extensively by business/management/economics students and researchers.

Subject: Re: Alumni Access to Electronic Resources
I imagine that most users of e-journals and databases are alumni of
somewhere. If this became the norm, wouldn't it shift the cost of
e-services from people's current employers to their former universities?

Subject: Alumni Access to Electronic Resources
I've received a request from a member of staff to
investigate the cost of Alumni access to electronic
resources, both e-journals and databases.
Could anyone tell me if this service currently available, particularly for
Business/Management/Economics-related
resources?
If so, does anyone else offer this service to Alumni?
Is it offered to all Alumni, or just those in certain departments? Do you
charge for it? What sort of problems (if any) have there been in setting the
service up and administering it?
I'd be grateful for any answers/comments that colleagues
may have on this issue. Please reply to me direct and I'll summarise for the
list.
Many Thanks
Caroline
