POLICY NO. 16

NOVEMBER 2004

REGISTRATION OF FACULTY / STAFF / STUDENTS FOR OFF-CAMPUS ACCESS TO LICENSED DATABASES

Off-campus access to most databases purchased by the UK Libraries is licensed only for the following patron groups:

Registration for off-campus access shall be limited to these groups. Patrons registered in Voyager will automatically be registered for off-campus access once a month. Patrons are responsible for activating new barcodes.


PROCEDURE

Check the Voyager circulation module for the patron's name, barcode, active membership in one of the above patron groups, and expiration date. If a patron is not in Voyager then he or she must be registered as outlined in Policy No. 1. (Exceptions: if a patron is exclusively a UK Distance Learner or in the UK Independent Study Program, then please refer the off-campus access registration to the UK Distance Learning Library Services Librarian.)

Please inform the patron that the thirteen character barcode on their student ID or library card is their off-campus access password and that his or her last name is the off-campus access user ID. Please inform the patron that this information will be loaded from the U.K. Library's computer system into the off-campus access system within twenty-four hours.
