Hi Erica
We've had similar issues here - and an approach I've been taking is that
of sending the non-JISC publishers a list of overseas partnerships that
we got from our partnerships office - and asking them whether they are
covered under our core license. My expectation is that for our overseas
franchised students that will not normally pose a problem, especially if
there is not a separate campus involved.
The only issues we have had were when the partnerships were classed as
'validated' and their relationship with the institution was not as
strong - but those have tended to be in the UK.
Hope that helps
Many thanks
Mark

Subject: [lis-e-resources] FW: Access to online resources for staff and
students at partnering insitutions
Hello all
I've been informed that our institution will increasingly be entering
into collaborative arrangements with other institutions both in the UK
and overseas. The students will be registered with Aston University and
will receive a username and password from us, but they will be studying
on these collaborative courses from within their own institutions (i.e.
we're not talking about a separate Aston campus overseas).
I wondered if anyone else has already been through a similar thing and
could give me some advice on how you went about setting up access to
online resources for the staff and students at partnering institutions:
i.e. did you contact each of your online resource providers to ask them
where you stood with regard to licensing? did you manage to set
something up for the partner institutions using different permissions
within Shibboleth?
Any information would be gratefully received!
Many thanks,
Erica
