More recently, the college has begun allowing alums to keep their IC e-mail addresses for life, which complicates things. (We had 2 e-resources that authenticated based on @ithaca.edu as the e-mail domain name. One was able to adjust; the other, we had to drop because we could not filter out unauthorized users. Now the college has a way to authenticate alums differently, even though their e-mail address is no different than when they were students. The college decides who's in and who's out -- and that goes for students at our Los Angeles and London centers as well as continuing ed. If the college counts them as a student, and includes them in our FTE, so do we. It works for us.

Lawton" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 10:08:46 -0500 Hello, My campus is beginning to offer continuing education courses. I’m wondering how CE students are treated at other institutions where library access is concerned. Are CE students granted access to login to campus computers using their own credentials? Are CE students granted off-campus access to library resources? If you allow for off-campus access, what terms do you include in your license agreements? Would the term “affiliated users” work for this group? Or, do you not provide remote access to CE students at all? As a state institution, we already have a walk-in policy in place, so that is not an issue. Thank you for any insight you can provide.
