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

[Trisha Burr]

I just received this notice from GeoScienceWorld also and have absolutely
no idea what to do with this content.

Does this happen often? I feel like GSW should be tasked with finding a
better solution.

If anyone figures out what to do with this content, I'd love to know!
Thanks,
Trisha
