Adjunct and Volunteer Faculty
- To access Medical Library resources, adjunct and volunteer faculty need to establish a formal affiliate appointment before they can receive their IUSM ID and password. The IUSM ID and password allow the user to access library resources on- or off-campus.
- The applicant's Department Chair or Center Director can request this appointment by following this procedure:
- Go to Account Management Service
- Click on Manage My IU Accounting Accounts
- After authenticating, on the next page click on Request to Add IU Affiliate
- Medical Library faculty and staff cannot provide passwords or sponsor affiliates
Retirees
At Indiana University, retired faculty and staff can have a computing account, which allows access to library resources. To receive this computing account, you must be retired according to IU's criteria. For a list of the age and service requirements necessary to qualify as an official retiree, see Retiree Status and Benefits.
Alumni
Currently, alumni are not authorized for an IU computing account, unless also affiliated with Indiana University as student, staff, faculty, retiree or affiliate appointment.
