Re: Oxford University Press license

[David Goodman <dgoodman@princeton.edu>]

To me this is just saying in rather round-about terms that 

1/ anyone, whether a member of the institution or not, that the
institution permits to use its libraries, can access the material from
within the libraries,

2/ but that only the actual members of the institution can use it by
remote access with a modem.

However, it does leave out the case of those accessing the network via the
campus network directly, not with a modem, from locations on campus other
than the library. To me it implies that at least the actual members of the
institution could do so, since they have the even more extensive right to
access with a modem.
