Hi,
Those of us who have been raising problems with the everchanging
usernames and passwords required to access Aslib subscriptions through
Emerald on this list recently will be pleased that a solution to all our
frustrations is near at hand. It demonstrates the value of this list in
trying to get shared problems resolved to our mutual satisfaction. I
would also like to thank Aslib and Emerald for working to get this
problem resolved.
I have been asked to post the following statement by Moyna Keenan,
Emerald to this list.
Subject: Statement from Aslib/Emerald re electronic journal access
Dear All,
In response to recent postings, Emerald and Aslib would like to
acknowledge your concerns and thank you for bringing them to our
attention. We are pleased to announce that the necessary steps are now
being taken to comply with your requests. Over the next few months,
development work will take place which will allow all Aslib's Corporate
Members to gain direct IP access/Athens authentication to:
1) The journals they have selected to receive as part of their Aslib
membership benefits and (where applicable),
2) Their direct Emerald subscription holdings.
Access will continue to be available via the Aslib website. Users within
the Emerald environment will be able to seamlessly access their
membership journals alongside subscribed-to journals and databases from
Emerald. Both Aslib and Emerald hope that this development will enable
you all to enjoy easier access to the wide range of quality content
provided by both organisations without the requirement for User ID's and
passwords.
Once again, thank you for your comments and your patience whilst we
undertake the necessary development work to ensure that this is put in
place. Assuring you of our continued commitment to excellence in the
service we provide our subscribers and members. If you have any further
questions, comments or concerns on this matter please don't hesitate to
contact us.
Kind regards Kathryn Toledano
