I suspect many people on the list are not members of IEEE. Therefore
its going to be difficult to comment. Unless there is some way for
non-members to see this?
from the iee page
"FREE TO ALL: Browse tables of contents and access Abstract records of
IEEE transactions, journals, magazines, conference proceedings and
standards.
IEEE MEMBERS: Browse or search to access any complete Abstract record
as well as articles from IEEE Spectrum Magazine. Access your personal
online subscriptions using your active IEEE Web Account. If you do not
have one, go to "Establish IEEE Web Account" to set up an account."
It did mention university subscribers too, but that is still only a
subset of of the list.
