Dear All,
Our agent (Swets) informed us that we would have to contact our Ovid
sales rep for quotes for online access to our LWW titles in 2004 ... and
then almost immediately retracted their instructions and said that
online access quotes would now be made available through them as agents.
I'm still waiting to hear further!
Best Wishes
Jackie
