I would like to seek a little help or advice from relevant members of the list. We are now very small having only one journal (the others having been sold to a much bigger organisation). The journal will shortly be available on-line and we urgently need to consider institutional licences. It had been the intention to restrict access to individuals by username/password and to institutions by IP range on the basis of physically allowing a set number of terminal accesses per paid subscription, probably 10. It now appears (more strictly perhaps I have only now realised) that the service provider can only control on an IP range per institution, however large, and we must consider a licensing system based upon numbers accessing. The journal covers a very limited specialist field (transport of radioactive materials), for which quite small numbers of individuals in very large organisations may be interested. Licences based upon total numbers of employees would be unrealistic. The potential problem is, of course, loss of multiple subscriptions at these organisations. Does anyone else have a similar problem and able to let me know, off the list if preferred, how it was resolved. A similar problem applies to a CD covering 14 years of back issues, which could be put on networks, pending the possibility of putting the back issues on-line. Regards in anticipation E.P.
