License and File Export

Question

One our students is studying abroad:

"I am a Killam Fellow at American University in DC for the fall semester, so I
cannot get to the library... I am back after Christmas."

Two questions:

1.  There is any problem with giving him access to DLI content.  He wants three cycles of the GSS: 2000, 2004, and 2006 International Youth Survey 2000 National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participation

2.  Any advice on how to get these files over to him...  I already have them on
a server here at MTA.

Answer

If the student is currently registered at Mount Allison he is an authorised user and is eligible to use DLI data if he intends to use it for academic research and publishing, teaching, or planning of educational services.

Please note that he can not however share the data with other students, researchers or faculty at the American University. Only he can have access and work on the data.

You could send him the files on a CD or put them on an server he can access remotely. Other DLI Contacts may have some helpful suggestions for you as well.
