Hi Ken (and all) --

Thanks for the information about AnthroSource ... the links in Serials Solutions seemed to work for me because that's what I used to check the titles with, so they may have been up-dated since you checked. In any case, it might be a good idea to alert Serials Solutions to the problem(s).

As for the problem in general, we're waiting to see what our new invoice will bring in terms of price, but I can't help but agree that this (like the Blackwell situation) is frustrating, to say the least!

Hi Peter,

Same here at F&M.  I have been in contact with someone at Wiley and
am waiting on a response.  Late last week or earlier this week, I
spoke with Dion @ AnthroSource.  He said that Wiley doesn't have
rights to some of the older materials, and that might be why access
is either being denied or we are receiving an error message (#4090).

I also found that some of the older content just isn't there anymore
(Contributions of the Latin American Anthropology Group, large
sections of Latin American Anthropology Review).

For those using Serials Solutions, I also found about 12 of the
titles that have the wrong updated URL (which is supplied by
Anthrosource or Wiley).  They are older titles, and the URLs have the
original ISSN numbers.  The ISSN in the links need to be for the
current or most recent title.  I mentioned this to the Wiley rep as
well.

This is very frustrating . . . Wiley has created a lot of problems in
the last 6 months, first with the Blackwell takeover and now with
Anthrosource.
