[Susan Wiegand]

I think NISO is working on something to improve security: "It is about time
that libraries and publishers move beyond IP-based authentication. A
related effort begun within the STM Association

of publishers earlier this year is gaining momentum, and NISO has been
engaged in these conversations and is supporting the initiative." (from

experiences, etc.
Should be an interesting coming discussion. What do others think about
moving beyond IP?
