For publishers, this is a a beneficial step. However, there may be an unintended consequence to adding another step to the authorization process. Off-campus users, who presently find their institution’s authentication process exasperatingly complicated, may be further driven from using authorized library resources. Adding more security to campus networks may unfortunately drive more authorized users into the shadows.
