We have emailed Elsevier to see what we are supposed to do - it asks for a
"reader key" on reigstration, we have no idea what to enter here! No
reply yet ....
Why we can't just have IP access, I don't know.
We do have the titles through the new Web Editions Scheme (by IP access -
it took a while & a lot of help from Swets to set it up), but only for the
latest 9 months of issues, so for the ones where we are supposed to get
free online access with the print anyway (e.g. vaccine, FEBS letters) we
have lost the archive volumes for the time being until we can get in.
I thought that we had got over this problem when Wiley abandoned their use
of logins & moved over to IP addresses last year!
