At SOME universities it means that the retired faculty member has full access to the resources (not only the library, but site-licensed software as well) that allows her or him to remain productive as a scholar, bringing more credit to his or her university. Regretfully, at my university (East Carolina University) this is not the case. Here you are considered pretty much dead once you have retired. Scholarship (along with family and horticulture) are the foundations of my life - accordingly I have decided that I cannot retire. I can only die, or become disabled
