IEEE Computer Society Partners with theIPregistry.org to Streamline IP Authentication for Digital Library Subscribers

IEEE Computer Society is outsourcing IP-based access management for its digital library to theIPregistry.org, automating how institutions register and update the IP ranges that grant staff and students access. For librarians and IT admins, this replaces manual, error-prone address updates with a centralized, verified registry, reducing access outages for researchers.

• IEEE Computer Society will integrate with theIPregistry.org to manage and verify institutional IP addresses, effective 15 September 2026.
• The partnership automates IP updates for digital library access, cutting manual administrative work for subscribing institutions.
• It signals continued reliance on IP authentication as a core access method for scholarly content, alongside a push for better security and accuracy.
