I'd like to remind any library taking the OECD's e-books via our online
library, SourceOECD, that we encourage as much use as possible, so please
don't put us in the same boat as Mosby and Wiley! We have thought of a way
around it and it works!!
Yours sincerely,
Toby Green

It was Mosby we spoke to, not Wiley, but it was a nursing book.
Mosby were very firm about this. So yes, it means we do not allow or
publicise access to the Web resources. Which is a shame, and publishers
need to think of a way round it. But I doubt that they will.
