Hi All
I actually find it reassuring that a corporation like Thomson Scientific
thinks it is worthwhile to develop these value-added services based on
content in our repositories.
Not only does it shows that we have already built up a substantial corpus of
Open Access material (a collective pat on the back to all!), but it is
another sign that the work we are doing is subtly changing the traditional
scholarly publishing landscape for the better.
Good job everyone - keep up the good work
Theo

Hi Sarah
Yes we don't have it either and to be honest we have a hundred databases we
subscribe to, could have a marketing page for our repository but it would
need constant updating.

Hi John,
We've had this too - and have ignored it. Current Web Contents is something
you have to pay for, so seems to be somewhat contrary to the notion of open
access!

Hello all,
I just wondered if anyone had been given the offer seen below from Thomson
Scientific.
Our repository content is now being used for their "prestigious database"
and offers us the use of their logo on our website.
Anyone else been sent this, anyone taken up their offer of a logo on their
website?
Intrigued
John Murtagh
