non-community member library access

[Stew MacLehose]

Do any academic libraries allow non-community members to access electronic
resources in ways other than as walk-ins?  I have been tasked with finding
this out.  All of our license agreements specify that access is restricted
to authorized users which are defined as current faculty, staff and
students and (in some cases) walk-in users.  Has anyone negotiated access
for users not covered in this definition?  We're pursuing alternative
revenue streams and want to explore the possibility of allowing
non-community members to purchase library access.

Thanks,
Stew
