Retiree Access to Library Resources
Policy
There are three standard library services provided to all USG retirees who come to a USG library in person. The three services are:
- Check out of library materials (with the caveat that the library has discretion over circulating equipment or other special classes of materials),
- Access to electronic resources (e.g., GALILEO) while in the library, and,
- Reference help, including the navigation of any location-specific policies or agreements affecting these and other services.
Special Note from Clayton State Library: Retirees with a current Laker ID card and valid Clayton State email address may check out books from the Clayton State Library. Due to certain extenuating circumstances (e.g emergency health pandemic), limited access or special entry to the library building may occur. Updated information is on the library’s website regarding hours and available services.
Emeritus Faculty
Emeritus faculty at USG institutions are provided full library access (the same as active faculty), including remote access to electronic resources; Emeritus/a faculty should contact their institution’s library for details and credentials for remote access to electronic resources.
Instructions for Clayton State Emeritus access to GALILEO:
- Go to GALILEO at Clayton State
- Follow the on-screen instructions for logging on
- Contact libtech@clayton.edu for assistance or remote access
