Hi Anna,
Thanks for sending this to the list.
We've just discovered that we've now got a similar problem with Surgery. The
former link to this title on Atypon is now being redirected to
http://www.surgeryjournal.co.uk/, but guess what we no longer have access to
this title on this site. There is a message on this site for institutions
saying that institutional subscribers can access their subscriptions through
ScienceDirect, but having just checked our access on ScienceDirect and guess
what our our access isn't working there either. I guess this is because it
is yet listed as one of our subscriptions on our ScienceDirect license.
Like Anna we had a problem getting our access sorted out to this title on
Atypon earlier this year, because it had been set up by the publisher as a
personal subscription rather than an institutional subscription.
I also spotted that there was a message on the on their site (when checking
for any changes when doing our journals renewals) saying that their journals
were moving to a new site, but it didn't say when and where. I then emailed
[log in to unmask] to ask them for clarification on the 18th
October 2006, but I never received any reply to my query!
Surely at this time of year there should have been complementary access
provided to this title on ScienceDirect, as I am sure there will be other
subscribers who haven't yet found out about this change and like us don't
yet have this as part of their SD contract.
Would Elsevier care to consider doing this for the duration of this year for
all former Medicine Publishing Company journals that are now on SD to give
people time to get these titles listed on the SD contracts?
Cheers
Lesley

Hi all,
You may already know this but just in case.....
Having fought to get our access to Medicine and Surgery up and
running on Atypon Link back in June, it seems these titles have now
moved to the Science Direct platform, and our access is working there
either! I have emailed Elsevier to ask them to sort this our for us
but thought I'd let the list know in case anyone else was unaware of the
move.
Cheers
Anna
