Haworth Journals - Coming soon to informaworld

["McMillan, Jennifer " <Jennifer.McMillan@tandf.co.uk>]

Dear subscriber,

Taylor & Francis Group recently acquired the publishing portfolio 
of Haworth Press. I am writing to give you advance notification 
of our schedule for migrating the ejournals from 
<http://www.haworthpress.com/> to <http://www.informaworld.com/>, 
to allow for a smooth platform transition for you and your users.

Timeline

>From November 2008 we will begin to load journal titles formerly 
published by Haworth Press to <http://www.informaworld.com/> . 
>From this point, no new content with a 2009 volume year will be 
added to <http://www.haworthpress.com/>, nor will any new 
accounts be created on the site. We expect this load to be 
complete by mid-December, and for all Haworth content to be 
available on informaworld from this point.

The Haworth Press site will run in tandem with informaworld until 
30th March 2009, after which date the site will be closed.

In order to minimise user disruption we plan to offer a free 
trial to all Haworth Press content on informaworld between 
November and mid-January. This will also give you an opportunity 
to check your holdings on informaworld are correct.

Online Access

The Haworth Press licence currently allows access to purchased 
volume years only. Once content is loaded to 
<http://www.informaworld.com/>, the access model will change to 
allow online access to current content along with a backfile to 
1997, where digitised. Purchased content will be available in 
perpetuity.

In most cases, online access should be transferred automatically 
to your institution's informaworld account. In the case of 
personal subscribers and any new institutional subscribers who do 
not yet have an informaworld account you will receive an email 
detailing how to access your subscription. We will send you an 
email once all content is loaded to advise you to check your 
access thoroughly whilst we are dual hosting and report any 
anomalies to the informaworld support team at 
support@informaworld.com

Online Access to Ceased Titles We plan to host ceased titles from 
<http://www.haworthpress.com/> on informaworld and will supply 
users with a list of these titles in future correspondence. Users 
will need to claim online access to ceased titles by contacting 
support@informaworld.com.

Academic to Calendar Year subscriptions

Haworth Press published titles on an academic year basis 
(September to August). Taylor & Francis will be publishing these 
titles on a calendar year basis. Any 2007/2008 academic year 
subscriptions will be extended to 31 December 2008. All volumes 
will be published on a calendar year basis from 2009.

Link Resolvers

>From November 2008 we plan to feature Haworth Press content in 
the feeds we provide to link resolver intermediaries including 
Serials Solutions, Ex Libris, TD Net and Ebsco Industries A-Z.

Usage Statistics

Currently the usage statistics <http://www.haworthpress.com/> are 
not COUNTER Compliant. Because the data is not compliant we do 
not plan to migrate the Haworth Press usage statistics to 
informaworld. We do hope, after the close of the Haworth Press 
site, to make available the previous usage statistics from the 
site.  We encourage any user wishing to access these statistics 
to download them from <http://www.haworthpress.com/> before March 
30, 2009.

It is our hope that this transition causes minimal disruption to 
you and your library users. Your patience during this transition 
is very much appreciated and we hope that the move to 
informaworld from Haworth Press will provide an improved user 
experience in the long term.

With kind regards,

Jennifer McMillan
