We first found out when our access to Taylor and Francis
publications via SwetsWise became problematic. It took a
couple weeks and lengthy e-mails to resolve. Links which were
set-up to the former 'Catchword' now IngentaSelect however,
were not affected.

Dear all,
For those of you who have access to e-journals published by Taylor and
Francis, Carfax, Routledge etc.
Before January 2003 all content from Taylor and Francis and its group of
publishers was available via Ingenta Select. Now I have been told that the
content will appear earlier on a new service called Metapress, which is
directly linked to the publisher.
To set this up for your institution you will need to register online at
http://taylorandfrancis.metapress.com. Access on-campus is by IP
authentication, access off-campus is by username and password.
I'd be interested to know if anyone got advance notice that this was going
to happen (especially those of us who have the NESLI deal for e-only titles
from this publisher)? The first we knew of it was in an electronic access
report dated 17/12/02 which said 'new access provider: Metapress' against
some titles. No announcement of what it was, and certainly no help on
setting it up until we asked ...
Best wishes
Louise
