Librarians can help themselves even more by NEVER writing for any
Haworth journals, editing any Haworth journals, or of course buying
any Haworth journals.   On the rare occasion that someone may actually
NEED the information in one of their typically topical issues, buy it
in the overpriced book format and catalog it as a book.

I have been following this discussion closely because of the
unfriendly to libraries policies that Haworth has used for as long as
I have had to deal with them.  I feel like I have to share my way of
dealing with them--I bribe our faculty to drop the subscriptions with
Haworth!  I promise them that we will subscribe to any other journal
they want, if I can drop the Haworth subscription.  So far, we have
dropped 3 and I am working on the rest.  I think the only way to deal
with Haworth is to drop their journals.  I know  this is difficult,
but even the most recalcitrant faculty people have responded when the
various problems with this publisher are explained.
