Hi,
Our links to http://link.springer.de/ are now working again and are
being redirected to the MetaPress site. It appears that someone from
Springer has taken notice of our comments and remedied the error in not
having these links redirected? The lack of advance warning about such
changes is just not acceptable at all.
Can we now have information about just what we need to do with our
existing links or will redirection continue to work for ever more?
Cheers
Lesley

Subject: Springer, what were you thinking?
Hi all,
Those of you who have links from your Springer journals to the German
server will be interested to know that all your individual titles links
will now be dead, and those which do manage to redirect will go to - the
wrong Metapress page! Not a Springer journal in sight.
Those of you who have links from your Springer journals to the American
server will be further interested to know thatr all your individual
titles will be redirecting to a 'Springer-LINK' site which now has a
Metapress interface and seems (for the moment anyway) to allow access to
the same group of titles. Off-campus, who knows?
We're fairly lucky at Leeds since we had URLs to both sites. But I
thought that Springer's new interface would run in parallel with the old
one for a while? and that redirects from springer.de would work.
Anyone else been caught out?
