We've only had one that I can recall. In that instance we
put a note on the online catalogue record and inside the
printed book asking registered users to contact us for the
internet access code - as supplied by the publisher. It can
then be recorded as a note on the user record so we know
who actually has access. The book in question was a nursing
one and actually I don't recall anyone ever asking for it.
It's the same principle we use for controlling e-access to
journals.
