Hello, I received an announcement from Taylor and Francis in December: Here is the relevant text: >The Haworth Press site will run in tandem with informaworld until >30th March 2009, after which date the Haworth Press site will be closed. >In order to minimise user disruption we plan to grace access to all >Haworth Press content on informaworld between now and 22nd January. >This will ensure that user access is not disrupted during this >initial period, as well as giving an opportunity to check that your >holdings on informaworld are correct. > >Online Access >The Haworth Press licence currently allows access to purchased >volume years only. We have amended this access model to allow access >to current content with a current subscription along with a backfile >to 1997, where digitised. Access to previous content will be made >available through our Online Archive Packages, with further details >to follow in the New Year. Purchased content will be available in perpetuity.
