Account Management

Users with administrative rights can access the Institutional Administration dashboard by logging in to the SPIE Digital Library with their personal user account, then navigating to My Account > Institutional Administration. There, administrators can view account and subscription information, access usage statistics, and review any access suspensions. Please email spiedlsupport@spie.org to make the following changes:

• Update IP addresses
• Add administrative rights to a user account
• If you have misplaced the username of a user account with administrative rights

Archiving

The SPIE Digital Library is archived and preserved in Portico. 

Branding

When a user's IP is affiliated with a subscribing institution, the institutional name and logo appear in an "Access Provided By" popup that can then be closed by the user.  To add or change your institution's logo, administrative contacts can send the logo image (jpg or png) to spiedlsupport@spie.org.  Images of any size are acceptable, however they will be scaled to display in the popup at 75 pixels in height.

COUNTER Reports

Users with administrative rights can download usage statistics, and access SUSHI credentials necessary for automated statistical harvesting, by signing in to the SPIE Digital Library using their personal user account and then navigating to My Account > Institutional Administration > COUNTER Reports. For detailed instructions, please download our COUNTER Usage Reports Guide. 

Usage reports for each month are usually available by the 6th of the following month.

SPIE Digital Library is currently compliant with the current COUNTER 4 standards, and will be COUNTER 5 compliant by January 2019.

OpenURL

The SPIE Digital Library supports both outbound and inbound OpenURL linking.

• When outbound OpenURL linking is configured, the References section of a journal article or ebook chapter will include links that take the user to your link resolver's result pages for the references being cited. Outbound links use the DOI of the reference as the linking key, and thus appear only for references that include a DOI in the citation. To set up outbound linking, email spiedlsupport@spie.org and provide the link resolver's base URL, the link text, and the URL of the hosted link image (maximum image dimensions are 150px wide x 30px high.)
• Inbound OpenURL linking is supported for journal articles, proceedings papers, and book chapters. SPIE works directly with link resolver vendors to provide them with metadata for the resources in the SPIE Digital Library.

Promotional Materials

To build subscription awareness and usage with our free promotional materials such as notebooks, pens, bookmarks, and posters, email spiedlsales@spie.org. To assist with promotion and users' questions, please see the SPIE Digital Library Features page. 

Remote Access Methods

Affiliated User Accounts
A user at a subscribing institution can affiliate their personal account with the institutional subscription in order to use the SPIE Digital Library remotely (for example, from a home computer or mobile phone). To do so, the user should simply create a personal account, or sign in to an existing one, while on a computer within the institution's IP range (for example, from a computer at work or school, or while otherwise connected to the internet via an accepted IP within the institution's network). This automatically affiliates the personal account with the institutional subscription for a period of three months. After this, the user can again sign in from within the institution's IP range in order to renew the affiliation.
