Hi all,
Please read following article:

What about the idea to write an official FIM4L response?
I think we can note that:
* It is time that libraries indeed need to fight this problem.
* Both libraries and publishers should work on this.
* SSO authentication methods can be used to reach the goal of better privacy, rather than IP-based authentication.
* Libraries and publishers need to work together on protecting users' privacy.
* We need to work together towards a new trust model anchored in a contract.
* Only together we can make a safe 'information journey' for researchers and students.
* We need each other, even when articles are published in Open Access. We can create a safe logon and can agree on a contractual basis that a publisher provides a safe journey for an authenticated user, rather than not authenticated users who are exposed to whatever the publisher is looking for.
All the best,
Jos
