Dear All,
We have had no information regarding this new provider. However, I wonder
how much earlier Metapress is able to provide the online articles compared
to Ingenta Select. Also a recent message from Ingenta Select tells us that
their site would become ATHENS compliant possibly at the end of March.
Would there be any great advantage in swopping from Ingenta Select to
Metapress? I would be inclided to stay with Ingenta and Ingenta Select with
local IP recognition access and then ATHENS elsewhere off-campus. All would
depend on the speed of Metapress in delivering these titles.
Regards,
Satu
