Retiree Library Privileges: Home

Retiree Resources

There are three standard library services provided to all USG retirees who come to a USG library in person. The three services are

1. Check out of library materials (with the caveat that the library has discretion over circulating equipment or other special classes of materials),
2. Access to electronic resources while in the library, and,
3. Reference help, including the navigation of any location-specific policies or agreements affecting these and other services.

Russell Library provides Georgia College retirees access to Interlibrary Loan privileges in order to borrow materials and articles related to research. This access is extended as a part of retiree privileges to Georgia College retirees, as well as employees granted Emeritus status by their Department, College, and/or the University. Retiree Interlibrary Loan privileges may be activated at any point after retirement from Georgia College.

To activate your retiree Interlibrary Loan privileges, please complete the form found online at https://gcsu.libwizard.com/retiree-ill.
(Please allow 2 business days for library staff to create the account.)

To log in to your retiree Interlibrary Loan account, please go here.

Emeritus Faculty Resources

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.
