Ken,

Yes, in previous email correspondence with an Anthrosource vendor, I learned
that there was a 10 year embargo on Anthropology News for institutions. My
recollection is that there was a note to this effect at the very bottom of
the index list when the access was through Caliber. I also had discussions
with the vendor about the fact that only issues from the 1960s and 1970s
were available; the 1980s through 1998 were missing. I was told the missing
issues would appear "soon" but that was at least a year ago.
Unfortunately, I can't confirm whether I got my information from
Anthrosource, Caliber or Blackwell because I deleted my email thread when we
were preparing to change email platform.
