In our case, all dual enrollment instructors are considered BRCC/VCCS employees (as well as HS teachers) and should have an @email.vccs.edu account to enter grades and syllabi. This may not, though, be the standard for all institutions. This would grant them access to all of your local databases and content like any other off-campus user. However, I realize that each institution processes dual enrollment a bit differently.
The question I would like to extend this to is how or if you grant access to the librarians in those high schools. They are not a VCCS employee directly, but are often asked to assist students in dual enrollment classes. They often go blind into the questioning because they've never seen VCCS resources. What are some options or strategies for handling this extension that are legal within our database contracts but are reasonable as well.

Wonder if it might be possible for an institution to create a 1 unit non-credit course and enroll librarians at the dual-enrollment high schools in that section. Then, the librarians would technically be "students" at the school with current myVCCS credentials and thus have the access they need...
