The JISC and the Economist are investigating access to the Economist
magazine (including full archive) for UK higher and further education.
Subscribers will have access to the full current and archive text via
the Web. The access will incorporate both the UK and USA subscriptions,
this is an unique offering, access to the Economist via any other
source is limited to the USA edition with a minimum month's embargo
before the text is available for syndication. Web access to The
Economist is in real time, the content is available and updated in
conjunction with the print subscription each Friday. The Economist
Group plan to implement ATHENS authentication, and the offer is for
campus-wide and remote access.
