I'm interested to know why ejournals and presumably other electronic
resources are not included in ex-staff membership. Is it down to costs
because of licenses or security because you are no longer a member of
staff, or other reasons?
It seems like letting people see only half the library without this
access, so defeating the object of offering retired staff etc
membership.
Best wishes,
Steph
