Perpetual Access to former Haworth titles now Taylor Francis Jenny Lockwood 16 Feb 2009 20:08 UTC

I know some aspects of this transfer has been discussed before, but have
many libraries had time to start reviewing what  perpetual access rights
Informaworld is showing for their individual holdings?  Under Haworth we
were being given access to our subscribed volumes. I have begun to check
our subscriptions and find none of our subscription holdings match what
Informaworld  shows will be our perpetual  access holdings after 2009.(
I am only on the third title so far) For example, according to Haworth
and our subscription records we have access back to 1977 for
Adminstration in Social Work.  Informaworld will give us access back to
1977 for 2009, but they are saying we will only get perpetual access
from 2006 after 2009. I am not sure how the date 2006 was arrived at,
but this is going to be a real mess-- particularly with our limited
staff to try to sort out -- if we haven't, in fact, lost rights to our
formerly subscribed content.   Did I miss something in previous
discussions  about how perpetual access would be applied?
