[Wactclc-alma] Emeritus Faculty and Staff

[Tammy Siebenberg]

We have emeritus faculty who have all of the same rights as current faculty.  The only thing I did in addition to George’s comments was to add a note indicating the year they were granted emeritus status.  One problem I’ve run into is those who come back as part-time faculty and are back in PPMS as current employees.  The Notes field helps me find them because they are no longer in the Faculty Emeritus user group.

Subject: [Wactclc-alma] Emeritus Faculty and Staff

Hi all,

Earlier this year, Edmonds started to award retiring faculty and staff the status of Emeritus.  (Dale was awarded emeritus status this week.)  So, we have created a new user group "Emeritus Faculty and Staff" and associated the group to proper fulfillment units/rules.  This user group has the same rights and privileges as normal faculty and staff.  Since these patron records will no longer be included in our PPMS loads, we have toggled these users to internal accounts and set an expiration date to far into the future.

I think we have the basic infrastructure set up for the user group, but perhaps we have missed something?  Does anybody else deal with emeritus faculty and staff?  Any best practice suggestions for maintaining these patron records?  All constructive comments are welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

George
