[Eril-l] Access to electronic resources for non-credit continuing education students?

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Sounds like a product development opportunity for vendors like Ebsco who have Alumni Databases available for licensing...
https://www.ebsco.com/products/research-databases/alumni-databases

Creating a LibGuide specifically for this group of students, spotlighting OA resources and institution-specific, even on-campus resources, might be an option?

University of Illinois, for example, already has created a LibGuide (but in their case, the OLLI members do get NetIDs and passwords, since they are “joining OLLI”):
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute: Books: A library guide for OLLI members.
https://guides.library.illinois.edu/c.php?g=347060&p=2341785

(And it may be an idea in a LibGuide to remind the Life Long Learners of the resources available at their public libraries where they are cardholders?)

Hi,

We have a similar situation with our Life Long Learners.
We tell them they can only access the databases while on campus.

Hi All, one of our colleges is offering non-credit continuing education courses.  These folks aren't in our Banner system and won't be issued an institutional email address nor accounts so access through our proxy serve will be problematic.  These will be 8-week courses, so relatively short.  How are other libraries handling this situation?  We met with the college and they refer to the students as participants, not students.


Thanks,
