Hi Jennifer, Does this mean that the Haworth titles will still be offered as print w/free online in 2008? Or only after the transition to T&F? Just prior to the announcement that T&F was buying Haworth, we received notice from EBSCO that online access would no longer be free with our Haworth print subscriptions. In preparation of the up- charge, I just deleted our URLs for our 4 Haworth titles.
