IU RETIREES ASSOCIATION

IU Athletics grants free admission for IU employees and retirees to "Olympic sport" events, such as baseball, softball, soccer, and women's basketball (but not football and men's basketball). All retirees are required to present their up-to-date IU identification cards at the event ticket office. Each retiree then receives two free tickets.

Retired faculty and staff can purchase season tickets for IU Football and Men’s Basketball games at the Faculty/Staff rate.

Campus Bus and Bloomington Transit

Retired staff and faculty are eligible for bus passes for free use of both Campus Buses and Bloomington Transit. Photo bus pass IDs are required. They may be obtained at Campus Card Services on the Mezzanine Level of the Indiana Memorial Union or on the ground level of Eigenmann Hall. The separate bus pass expires at the same time as the campus ID. See Campus Bus web site for route information.

Library Resources and Privileges

Anyone can use the IU Libraries, and any Indiana resident can check out books. An official Indiana University retireehttp://www.hr.iu.edu/benefits/retirestatus.html) has additional privileges.

Online Databases, Electronic Journals, and Electronic Books

IU Libraries on every campus subscribe to a variety of journal indexes, full-text resources, and electronic books and journals. Retirees have access to the resources a campus library provides. An IU network ID (the one used to access University resources such as OneStart and IU email account) still works. Retirees may use it to log in to library-owned computers, to connect to these resources from off-campus through the library’s web site or through IUCAT, and to access many library services. Some professional schools provide access to special databases for faculty who have retired from the professional school; contact a campus library for details.

A log-in using a network ID and passphrase will be required when connecting from off-campus. The easiest way to access online subscription resources is to use the library web site. To access electronic library subscription resources through the library catalog, use IUCAT rather than Classic IUCAT because the new IUCAT makes it easier to log in to use library resources.

Special information for IPFW retirees—Retirees affiliated with the IPFW campus must obtain a free special network account to access these resources from the IPFW Information Technology Services (ITS) office to maintain access to IPFW library resources and services.

Library Accounts

Faculty and Professional Staff -- Faculty members and professional staff may keep their library accounts and use their IU ID cards to check out books.

A retiree may renew checked out materials through IUCAT or in person at a campus library. Most libraries (with the exception of the Kokomo campus library), also renew materials via phone or by mail.

Clerical and Service-Maintenance Staff -- Retired clerical and service-maintenance staff members may keep their original IU ID cards and barcode numbers. On most campuses, library accounts transition to Indiana resident library accounts with a 30-day loan period. When checking out library materials, be sure to note the due date.

Library accounts expire annually and must be renewed because the University does not update retiree information. Expiration notices are sent to the user of record.

Retirees may continue to renew checked out materials through IUCAT or in person at a campus library. Most libraries (with the exception of the Kokomo campus library), also renew materials via phone or by mail. Some campuses have special web forms for renewal by Indiana residents.

They are:
