<div>Thanks Dmitry and Ben for your answers, I really discovered something important for my job today, you can't just imagine.</div>

<div>Oh yes, I can understand that IP recognition is insecure and privacy-invading. But try to negociate a one site licence with Wiley, for a journal which is actually read by 15 people on one site (Brussels)... Wiley tells you then that, as the potential readers are 15000 (one IP for all our European sites, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands...), you have to buy a multi-site licence, which is not really at the same price...
</div>
<div>Well anyway, I could write long messages about that, but that's another problem !</div>

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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 ?

<p><font face="Arial" color="navy" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It definitely could, as long as those e-journals send you bills, detailing their readers. It would be best to establish a corporate OpenID server, which would automatically provide identities for all employees. As they already have usernames/passwords, this would be a straightforward process.
