[OpenID] OpenID and e-journals

[Valerie]

Bonjour,
Je découvre OpenID aujourd'hui avec un regard de documentaliste. Si je
comprends bien la technologie, est-ce qu'un OpenID permettrait de naviguer
d'une revue électronique (par ex. une revue scientifique online payante,
avec reconnaissance sur base IP) en une autre revue électronique (à
condition que les éditeurs soient "OpenID compliant") sans devoir
s'authentifier à chaque fois ? Merci d'avance pour

Hello,

I've just discovered OpenID and I was wondering if this could help in my
e-journals environment (I'm librarian).
If I understand correctly, OpenID could allow my e-journals readers
(assuming they have their OpenID created) to go from editors website to
editors website (OpenID compliants) to read their subscribed e-journals,
without having to log in every time ?
Most editors do have an IP recognition system, but I have a big problem on
my side, we only have one IP address for 15000 users (yes, it's incredible,
but that's the policy of my company..). As a matter of fact, when I want to
backcharge my readers (each department pays what they use), I don't know who
reads what. If every user had an OpenID, that could help in solving this
problem ?

Thanks in advance for any info and best wishes to all,
