We have remote access for all Springer titles and have had for some time
now, it works on our old links to springer.de and uses a LINK
Authentication username and password rather than Athens.
On your second point Metapress is not yet Athens compliant - it was
announced on this list in early June (around 6th). When I tried to get
everything set up I eventually got information from MetaPress that they
had since removed ATHENS access from their website and they are not yet
fully compliant.
I suggested they send out another message to lis-e-journals withdrawing
their earlier claim but I never remember seeing anything from them!
Thanks
Jackie
