My students are offender learners – is there any guidance for using OU Library services in this situation?
Those OU students in prison who are allowed supervised access to the Internet can access the electronic resources on the Open University Library website. Those not allowed access may be able to arrange for the prison educator to access Library resources on their behalf. The prison educator will need to contact the Library Helpdesk and ask for a Use of Copyright Databases (Consultants) form, which needs to be signed by an OU sponsor. Alternatively tutors can print Internet material for their students, as long as they comply with copyright restrictions. The Library can also provide an offline, zipped version of Safari, but please note that none of the links will work.
