Hi Kenyon<br>
<br>
Yes, T&F blocked one IP address after 100 events were logged in 36 seconds recently. Investigation revealed that Mendeley had been used during the session but it could have been another citation manager with a downloading facility. It was time limited so the
block is not permanent. I imagine similar caps apply to other publishers hosted on Atypons Literatum:

Has anyone received reports of users of Mendeley's Web Importer having their IP address blocked by vendors? I have a patron whose IP address was blocked due to excessive activity. According to them they were using Mendeley's Web Importer to retrieve citations/pdfs
from the site but not nearly the numbers indicated by the vendor. I'm trying to find out if there is some activity by Mendeley that could cause extra connections unknown to the user. I found an Elsevier page which suggests this is a known issue (at bottom
of the page):<br>
<br>
<a href="https://service.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28973/supporthub/mendeley/p/16075/">https://service.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28973/supporthub/mendeley/p/16075/</a><br>
<br>
I'm trying to get more information from Elsevier but I'm wondering if anyone else has received similar reports.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br clear="all">
