University Joint Programs and e-resources access

["Louis Houle" <Houle@library.mcgill.ca>]

For those of you where joint programs (either at the undergraduate, 
master or PhD level) are offered, what do you do as far as remote 
access to your e-resources? I am more interested in those joint 
programs where the students are registered only in their mother 
institution: do you give them remote access to your electronic 
databases or journals? If so, have you included in your license 
agreement a special clause that would covered such access?

The access in itself is easy to give with a proxy server but I am 
more concerned on the legality of all this. I don't recall seeing any 
such debate on this issue.

I would appreciate your thoughts on this and if you have been able 
to introduce such a clause I would like to see it!

Thank you!
