Hello,

Perhaps this topic has been discussed on this list previously, but I'm trying to gather information on how academic libraries support non-credit microcredential/professional development courses in terms of access to licensed e-resources. Do you allow participants in these programs to access licensed content, or limit your role to assisting course developers with identifying OA/OER for use as course materials? Have you made efforts to formally designate learners in these courses as "students" at your institutions? Any insights or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

John
