Summary
Institutional identifiers and the Journal Supply Chain Efficiency Improvement Pilot. Based on a briefing session given at the 30th UKSG Conference,Warwick, April 2007.

Previous identifiers have been for physical location purposes which are no longer relevant for new groupings. Publishers need to know exactly who their customers are and the customers need to be able to identify themselves and their ‘licensing unit’ to the publishers and other members of the journal supply chain.
