Yes, this is becoming an issue here too. I've asked quite a few
publishers (mostly learned societies who publish via Highwire)
about the possibility of having password-controlled access to cater
for off-campus use. They have all replied that they cannot provide
this but that I should setup a password-controlled proxy server to
facilitate off-campus use.
Have other sites gone down this route?
