We have seen a growing number of messages from publishers to this list over the last few days, drawing our attention to the announcement from Swets. Firstly I would like to say publically how sad I was to see this announcement and how much I feel for the staff at Swets.
Secondly, it would be appreciated if publishers would reassure us that they understand the enormity of any work we might need to undertake to change our current arrangements for subscriptions by providing details of how they will grace access to their content as we work through this extremely difficult situation.
I have almost invariably seen information about payments but what about the access?
Best regards
