[ILL-L] ILL to Emeritus faculty?

[Robinson, Arthur]

GLG provides ILL to retried faculty and staff who live locally.  
 
On a different but similar topic:  sometimes faculty who are leaving our college for another university request ILL after the end of the school year.  Our policy has been to order articles for them on ILL, but not to borrow books for them when they're about to leave town.  (We had a bad experience once.)  If they want books, I ask them to request them from the university they're moving to.  Most faculty accept this, but a couple have not seemed too happy.   How do other ILL departments handle this?  (Obviously, if they were going to be going to another university in the fall but still teaching here during the summer, there would be no problem.  But aside from the risk of the books accompanying the faculty on their move, I don't think we should have to pay for research a professor will be doing at another university.  or am I out of line?)

Do any libraries provide ILL to Emeritus faculty? If so, how? If not, why not? Thanks for any insight.
