Definitions

Walk in Users Institutional Premises - this is the current version from the JISC Model Licence:

Persons who are not a current student, member of staff or a contractor of the Institution, but who are permitted to access the Institution’s information services from computer terminals or otherwise within the physical premises of the Institution ["Walk-In Users"] are also deemed to be Authorised Users, only for the time they are within the physical premises of the Institution. Walk-In Users may not be given means to access the Licensed Work when they are not within the physical premises of the Institution. For the avoidance of doubt, Walk-In Users may not be given access to the Licensed Work by any wireless network provided by the Institution unless such network is a Secure Network.

Walk In Users - Library Premises:

Persons who are not a current student, faculty member or an employee of the Sub-Licensee, but who are permitted to access the Sub-Licensee’s information services from computer terminals within the Sub-Licensee’s Library Premises ["Walk-In Users"] are also deemed to be Authorised Users, only for the time they are within the Library Premises. Walk-In Users may not be given means to access the Licensed Materials when they are not within the Library Premises.
