Access Rights on Informaworld John H Reidelbach 07 Jan 2009 21:28 UTC

Did I miss an announcement from Informaworld about some sort of free
access period for some of their journal titles beginning in 2009?  The
reason I am asking is that I have been double checking our online holdings
in moving our Haworth Press subscriptions to the Informaworld platform and
I have discovered that a number of our paid subscriptions are currently
listed as "free access" including expanded back file access.

A few examples are provided below:

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation
Access on Haworth Press site was from 1993 to present
Access on Informaworld is now from 12/12/1990 to present and indicated as
"free access"

Journal of Organizational Behavior Management
Access on Haworth Press site was from 1993 to present
Access on Informaworld is now from 09/10/1977 to present and indicated as
"free access"

Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community
Access on Haworth Press site was from 2000 to present
Access on Informaworld is now from 10/26/1996 to present and indicated as
"free access"

Has anyone else noticed this strange phenomenon?  Now I'm not sure how to
list our access period for these Informaworld holdings in our A-Z list.  I
have a feeling that the "free access" expanded content won't last long but
how do I know?
