What constitutes misuse?For members…– Shared usage of membership– Excessive downloads by one member– Buying print subs at member prices for organizational use
For customers…– Sharing a member’s access with other employees throughout the organization– Sharing IEEE content with other organizations– Reselling IEEE content to other organizations
Member misuse criteria
In November 2007 TAB endorsed a “recommendation on member access to SMDLs”– Thresholds are
> 100 downloads in 24 hours > 500 downloads in one month > 5 IP addresses in 24 hours > IP addresses than sessions (ie, spoofing)
Some Society Digital Lib subs appear questionable (2010 data)Note: MDL = Member Digital Library
SDL = Society Digital Library# of MDL subscription downloads are limited# of SDL subscription downloads are unlimited
4,286 members subscribe to 3+ SDLs1,338 members subscribe to 4+ SDLs45 members subscribe to 10+ SDLs

Member misuse cases2008-2011 average = 45/month, growing slightly

Member Subscriptions to Paid Optional Pubs (March 2011)
190 Members subscribed to 15-24 journals
455 Members subscribed to 10-14 journals
1,690 Members subscribed to 6-13 journals* does not include subscriptions bundled w/ Society Membership

We’ve had success converting cases of misuse (since implementation 7/08)
Year # of conversions
Revenue
2008 7 $57K
2009 12 $127K
2010 6 $284K
2011 YTD 5 $92K
Total 30 $560K

2. Robotic misuse
Individuals penetrate university sites, steal valid Xplore session IDs, then download from Xplore
Rogue usage from “legitimate” users at our customers

3. Copyright Misuse
IEEE content is increasingly being posted illicitly on file-sharing services
Three biggest are– 4Shared.com– Rapidshare.com– filesonic.com
Work closely with IPR group and D&W

Other EffortsEducating Members:– Friendly email reminders outlining IEEE usage
policies to all SDL and MDL subscribers
– Monthly emails reminders to new subscribers of VuSpec and SDLs
IEEE Personal Subscription Webpage: www.ieee.org/go/mypersonalsub
New Terms of Use on Xplore were released in Xplore 3.2… becoming more comprehensive in 2012 IBP release
Other Efforts (continued)
Looking to determine “China” strategy
Collaborating with peers (OPWG, ASTM)
Auto-throttle (hopefully 2011)
Net-Insights tracking for individual subs (hopefully 2011)
