Swets and INFORMS Journals,
It has been announced that the subscription agent Swets (Swets & Zeitlinger Group B.V.) has filed for bankruptcy and ordered suspension of payments. Due to the uncertainty surrounding Swets' financial and corporate status, INFORMS is asking libraries not to place any orders or make any prepayments to Swets. INFORMS may not be able to fulfill orders that have been placed through Swets. Please either renew your subscriptions through another agent of your choice (EBSCO, Harrassowitz, etc.) or directly through INFORMS sales office (listed below).
2014 Print subscriptions:
* Customers with 2014 print subscriptions delivered directly from INFORMS will continue to receive them as normal.
* Customers whose 2014 print subscriptions are currently consolidated by Swets in the USA should contact INFORMS.
2015 Renewals:
* Customers who have ordered through Swets for 2015 subscriptions should make alternative subscription arrangements for 2015 and let INFORMS know you have already placed an order with Swets.
* Customers who have already paid Swets for 2015 subscriptions should contact INFORMS with proof of payment.
We will continue to monitor the situation with Swets. Please be assured that we will do our best to minimize any disruption to your institutions' access to INFORMS journals.
If you have already placed any orders for 2015 journals or further orders for 2014 via Swets please contact Tom Fink, Senior Sales & Marketing Manager, INFORMS, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Miranda Walker
