Currently we do not offer up access to Alumni. We have been asked to do so.
I am trying to gather information on others' experiences with this issue.  I
am not sure how we'll deal with any of these issues. But, if (or I should
say, When) we do, I'll let you know.

You've asked an interesting question, but I find the funding issue even 
more interesting.  May I add two questions?  How do you pay the additional 
fees, if any?  Do any Libraries get a portion of alumni dues?  Bonnie
