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&regtype=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. To register, please visit informaworld at:

and informaworld will be provided in the New Year.

For customers who currently access subscriptions via Swetswise:

make any changes to your account. You will be informed of any 
future changes to your account by Swetswise. However, we do
