informaworld:Important information for Library Account Administrators Jennifer McMillan 12 Dec 2006 14:18 UTC
informaworld:Important information for Library Account Administrators Apologies for cross posting During the course of this week Taylor & Francis Group aims to remove the beta sign from informaworld. informaworld is the new web portal for Taylor & Francis Group and Informa Healthcare journals, ebooks, abstract databases and reference works. We are writing to advise you of how this will affect you, and of what changes you will need to make. *************************************************************** For customers who currently access subscriptions via MetaPress: MetaPress access to Taylor & Francis Group journals will no longer be available from January 2007. The taylorandfrancis.metapress.com and journalsonline.tandf.co.uk hostnames will be mapped to www.informaworld.com, so users will be automatically redirected to the new site. However we are advising customers to update OPAC links as soon as possible to ensure stability. We are working with companies who provide link resolvers and more information on this is included later in this message. We have emailed all registered MetaPress administrators with their usernames and passwords. Those administrators should now log in to informaworld and change their password to something memorable. If you do not have this username and password, please register your detail at: http://www.informaworld.com/controlpanel~mode=register? action=regcreate®type=inst and our online team will assist you. ***************************************************************** For customers who currently access subscriptions via Ingenta Ingenta users will be unaffected by this change in the short term, but may want to register at informaworld to take advantage of its features.
