Dear subscriber, 

Taylor & Francis Group recently acquired the publishing portfolio of Haworth 
Press. I am writing to give you advance notification of our schedule for 
migrating the ejournals from www.haworthpress.com to www.informaworld.com 
to allow for a smooth platform transition for you and your users.

Timeline
From November 2008 we will begin to load journal titles formerly published by 
Haworth Press to www.informaworld.com. From this point, no new content 
with a 2009 volume year will be added to www.haworthpress.com, nor will any 
new accounts be created on the site. We expect this load to be complete by 
mid-December, and for all Haworth content to be available on informaworld 
from this point. 
The Haworth Press site will run in tandem with informaworld until 30th March 
2009, after which date the site will be closed. 
In order to minimise user disruption we plan to offer a free trial to all Haworth 
Press content on informaworld between November and mid-January. This will 
also give you an opportunity to check your holdings on informaworld are 
correct. 

Online Access
The Haworth Press licence currently allows access to purchased volume years 
only. Once content is loaded to www.informaworld.com, the access model will 
change to allow online access to current content along with a backfile to 
1997, where digitised. Purchased content will be available in perpetuity.
In most cases, online access should be transferred automatically to your 
institution’s informaworld account. In the case of personal subscribers and any 
new institutional subscribers who do not yet have an informaworld account 
you will receive an email detailing how to access your subscription. We will 
send you an email once all content is loaded to advise you to check your 
access thoroughly whilst we are dual hosting and report any anomalies to the 
informaworld support team at [log in to unmask] 

Online Access to Ceased Titles
We plan to host ceased titles from www.haworthpress.com on informaworld 
and will supply users with a list of these titles in future correspondence. Users 
will need to claim online access to ceased titles by contacting 
[log in to unmask] 

Academic to Calendar Year subscriptions 
Haworth Press published titles on an academic year basis (September to 
August). Taylor & Francis will be publishing these titles on a calendar year 
basis. Any 2007/2008 academic year subscriptions will be extended to 31 
December 2008. All volumes will be published on a calendar year basis from 
2009.

Link Resolvers
From November 2008 we plan to feature Haworth Press content in the feeds 
we provide to link resolver intermediaries including Serials Solutions, Ex Libris, 
TD Net and Ebsco Industries A-Z. 

Usage Statistics
Currently the usage statistics on www.haworthpress.com are not COUNTER 
Compliant. Because the data is not compliant we do not plan to migrate the 
Haworth Press usage statistics to informaworld. We do hope, after the close of 
the Haworth Press site, to make available the previous usage statistics from 
the site.  We encourage any user wishing to access these statistics to 
download them from www.haworthpress.com before March 30, 2009.

It is our hope that this transition causes minimal disruption to you and your 
library users. Your patience during this transition is very much appreciated and 
we hope that the move to informaworld from Haworth Press will provide an 
improved user experience in the long term. 

With kind regards, 

Jennifer McMillan
