[Eril-l] open source software for hosting ejournals with ip authentication

[Melissa Belvadi]

Hi,
Does anyone know of any open source software that can provide the following
hosting services for PDF content?
1. Provide IP authentication for multiple customers, with different lists
of which content they are entitled to
2. Provide some kind of usage reporting, preferably COUNTER compliant or at
least similar
3. Provide some kind of persistent linking, ideally openurl compliant but
doesn't have to be

The context is that GeoScienceWorld has just told all of our consortial
subscribers that they are unable to host certain journal backfile anymore,
and is giving it to the institutions as PDFs. Many of our smaller members
have no idea what to do with this pile of PDFs and we're looking at whether
one of the techier univs in our consortium could take on hosting it for the
entire group.
Different members have different ranges of entitlement years on the titles.
We wouldn't need a search platform, as we'd all just be making links to the
"full text" from various other places.

Our immediate need is journals, but it would be great if it could handle
ebooks too.
This isn't a Portico/LOCKSS dark-to-light situation, because the content is
still owned and locked up by another publisher, but it's just the GSW
customers who have the problem.

Thanks!
