When I think of access=customers, I think of toilets inside a restaurant, or a parking lot outside a pub you can only usually access as a customer, so only things that are inside other things. The restaurant itself or the pub wouldn't normally have the access tag. But I guess for an institutional library only open to students I guess you could say they are "customers" of the university, it's just a bit less clear.
