PRESS RELEASE 9 AUGUST 2006

Taylor & Francis Group (including Routledge, Taylor & Francis & 
Psychology Press) is delighted to announce the imminent launch of 
the beta version of its new online platform - informaworld.

informaworld will host the company's eJournals, online journal 
archive collections, eBooks and eReference Works.  For the first 
time Taylor & Francis' subscribers will be able to search across 
all T&F content, regardless of format, giving them increased 
access to a wealth of information to assist in their research.

informaworld will run in parallel with T&F's existing online 
platforms whilst customers are invited to try out the beta site 
and provide feedback.  Access will be transferred to informaworld 
once users are satisfied with the new site to ensure a smooth 
transition and minimal disruption to all.

informaworld offers many enhanced and new features for the 
benefit of both the Library and the Researcher including:

Automatic enabling of access to subscriptions with email 
confirmation COUNTER 2 compliant usage statistics Compatibility 
with all Link Resolvers Ability to incorporate your Library's 
logo Easy access by IP range, username and password, ATHENS 
(Shibboleth to follow) and proxy server Comprehensive reference 
and forward citation linking Compatibility with bibliographic 
software Improved alerts by search term, citation, subject and 
issue Related articles feature Intuitive search interface with 
comprehensive help notes
