LITS Resources for Retirees

Congratulations on your retirement from Hamilton College, and thank you for your years of service! As you prepare for retirement, here are some important things about LITS services and resources to know.

Resource options

Resources available include:

  • Google account (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, etc.)

  • Access to many of the library’s resources (contact Library staff for details)

  • Access to My Hamilton

  • Events-All announcements (by request)

Your network account provides access to WebAdvisor, network servers (e.g. ESS), personal web pages, off-campus Library resources and Blackboard (faculty).

Google Account Expiration Timeline

  • Employees: Gmail accounts are disabled after the last day of employment.

  • Faculty: Gmail accounts remain active for 90 days after the last day of employment.

  • Retirees: To maintain Gmail access, the person must be designated as a retiree in Workday. This status flows to our identity management system and preserves account access.

Available Library Resources

  • All designated retirees or local community members can maintain access to the library's physical materials. Please reach out to Circulation for details (askcirc@hamilton.edu).

  • Only contributing retirees may retain access to online databases and inter library loans. For the proper affiliation, please contact the Dean of Faculty

Contributing Retirees & Temp Workers

  • Faculty members who choose to continue teaching at Hamilton post-retirement retain full access to all faculty resources.

  • Staff who return to work on a temporary basis will be given access to the resources required for the position they fill.

If you elect to give up your email account

If you do not wish to retain your email account, there are instructions to assist with transferring your mail elsewhere if you desire. The identity management system will remove your account automatically after one year. If you wish to have the account remove sooner than one year, please contact the Help Desk.

 More information

For library related inquiries, please reach out to the Circulation Desk (askcirc@hamilton.edu) or the Help Desk (helpdesk@hamilton.edu).
