Dear Julie We have quite good compliance on this clause from publishers who are willing to grant access to teachers in the UK of franchised courses, etc. In general publishers are unwilling to grant this to teachers of franchised courses in other countries, and there are a few reasons for this: 1. Sometimes they don't have the rights to grant, and the rights for overseas countries are held by a different publisher or the publishers agent 2. sometimes the relationship between the UK institution and the teachers in overseas organisations is not a direct one. Publishers are worried that the UK institution will have little control over such teachers 3. Some publishers have had bad experiences in some overseas countries of breaches to licence agreements/copyright and this can make them wary. It is difficult for us to negotiate at a national level for overseas campuses, because the relationship UK institutions have with such organisations vary so much. So, I am afraid it often a case of going to the publisher with the individual circumstance.

In particular to include "teachers of authorised users", where teaching may be outsourced or franchised to local colleges of Further Education. There are very few examples that I can see where this applies on an international level. For example in most of the licenses where this additional clause appears 'authorised users' are specifically stated as "teachers of authorised users in the United Kingdom." I would be interested to hear from any institutions involved with transnational education who could share their experiences of negotiating licenses for e-resources. For instance do you provide access to your e-resources to "teachers of authorised users" outside of the UK (for educational purposes of course) at all? Have you had to negotiate this separately with the publisher in every case to gain access? How successful has this been overall and can you pass on any good practice tips and guidance to us please?
