AnthroSource and Wiley-Blackwell

Hello!
Maybe I missed this, but I don't remember seeing anything on the list-
serv about this change.
This morning, someone in ILL called me because our AnthroSource URL
wasn't working for Latin American Anthropology Group Contributions
(Vol. 1 1976). We have all of our AnthroSource URLs listed as http://
www.anthrosource.net/loi/xxxx (xxxx standing for the title's
abbreviation). I looked at it and got an error message that the page
couldn't be found. I dropped the /loi/xxxx, and was able to connect
to AnthroSource.
When I got there, I discovered that 1) not all of the previous
content is on the AnthroSource site anymore, 2) the pdf and html
links take the user to Wiley-Blackwell (initially, many of the
articles came up with an error message #4090 on the W-B site), 3) the
content that is no longer on AnthroSource is available on W-B, but if
it is earlier than 1997 we are prompted for a username/password.
Concerning missing content, here's an example. With the old version
of AnthroSource, we had Vol. 1-6 (1989-94) of Latin American
Anthropology Review, now only Vol. 1 is listed on the AnthroSource
website (under the title Journal of Latin American and Caribbean
Anthropology).
I also found that the official changes began on 12/22/08 -- click
here for the link.
After all of the problems we had when Wiley & Blackwell merged this
past summer, it appears that we are going to have the same problems
with AnthroSource.
Anyone else have problems??
Thanks,
Ken
