Unless a publisher is listed at <a href="https://theipregistry.org/publishers/">https://theipregistry.org/publishers/</a>, I had to either log into their admin site to make the changes or message them. It was a tedious process. Examples, 1. Some vendors admin sites are not easy to use. Eg, EBSCO Admin takes IP address one by one and no longer takes ranges. I had to manually enter dozens of addresses. 2. Not all publishers/vendors have a working email or contact form posted. </div><br clear="all"></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:16pt"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline">Xiaotian Chen</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline"><br></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline">Professor, Electronic Services Librarian</span></p></span><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.656;margin-top:6pt;margin-bottom:10pt"><a href="http://bradley.edu" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="border:none;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:217px;height:28px"><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcnjbcbmqyicti2vpHACPdzgKa2Fb8GfnqYEeroJwHH_OgBA83Mbx3H4WXqlCAcLb-3tcBUsIXU98ANAYzNhqRDoriV5PJBQzczdTdG1k0oL4yjG_TCN90e7GFdyi0y2pIzgOOU4w?key=K1sqA56IOjj80PqKWejUrR8g" width="217" height="28" style="margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px"></span></span></a></p></span></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 19, 2026 at 3:08 PM <<a href="mailto:eril-l-request@lists.eril-l.org" target="_blank">eril-l-request@lists.eril-l.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>
Hi, all!<br>
We're planning to change our Ezproxy server's IP address on Monday Jan 26 to a different address still within the same range as the rest of campus.<br>
<br>
We are registered with <a href="http://theipregistry.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">theipregistry.org</a> and I will change it there, but not all of our vendors use that service.<br>
<br>
Most vendors are happy with the proxy server being in the overall campus range and won't care that we change ezproxy's IP address in particular as long as it's within our campus range they already know.<br>
<br>
So I am concerned about identifying which vendors meet both of these conditions:<br>
<br>
1.<br>
they need to make some kind of internal adjustment when the proxy server itself changes IP address, AND<br>
2.<br>
they will NOT get that information from <a href="http://theipregistry.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">theipregistry.org</a><br>
<br>
If any of you can identify those vendors, it would help us a lot, thank you!<br>
<br>
PS. Vendors, please consider joining the IP Registry! It would have saved me a lot of stress right now if all of you were members!<br>
