Hello
I have also received this letter - and could not make sense of it as it states that it is not offering access to digital editions after 1st April - but then also states that our subscription will still allow access to the archive ? So it is not really very clear.
I have also just emailed RCN asking them to clarify - but as yet have had no reply, so if any one can shed any light please do ?
Thanks
Tracy Love

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] FW: Query about RCN Publishing
Hello,
I'd be most grateful for any clarification of an email, below, that we received from RCN Publishing. Has anyone else had this? It appears to inform us that from 1st April 2010 we will lose access to all current digital editions of subscribed titles "due to VAT implications."
We subscribe to "Nursing Standard" directly from RCN and to several other titles via an agent.
I have sent two urgent emails to RCN Publishing asking for more details, but at the time of writing this, have not received a reply.
Thank you for any light you can shed!
Best wishes,
Charlotte Sing,
Acquisitions Development Manager at The John Rylands University Library, The University of Manchester.

There are also valuable sections of our site covering careers and student issues, as well as a weekly updated jobs site at www.rcnbulletinjobs.co.uk.
