Hi Lesley (and all), We're planning to move the journals to Cambridge Journals Online at the beginning of 2007. This includes the content currently hosted on IngentaConnect; for the remainder of 2006, IngentaConnect will continue to be updated with new content as it becomes available. Cambridge is in the process of confirming with the relevant learned societies whether the journal archives (assuming this is what you meant by "pre-1999 backfiles") will remain free to all once the content moves to CJO. All subscriptions will continue normally through 2006. Existing institutional customers should contact Cambridge with any questions, as we have taken over the relevant subscriber lists and therefore will have the information to answer any queries that arise. Also, CABI and Cambridge are working together during the period of transition to make sure issues are produced on schedule. When appropriate, Cambridge will take over production entirely but customers should not notice any difference.

As CUP is now responsible for the CABI Journals it would be useful to have answers to the following questions: 1. When will the journals and their backfiles appear on Cambridge Journals Online? 2. What will happen to the content currently hosted on IngentaConnect? 3. Will IngentaConnect continue to be updated with new content for the rest of the year? 3. Will the pre-1999 backfiles continue to remain freely available to all? 4. What arrangements will be in place for the rest of this year? 5. What should existing institutional subscribers do now - the reason for asking is that we have only recently taken out four new online only subscriptions to CABI journals and need to know who will deal with any queries relating to them?

The CABI list expands and complements Cambridge University Press's existing journals portfolio of over 200 academic and professional journals and significantly builds its collection in the life sciences. Cambridge will continue to publish the CABI list with current editors and Societies with effect from 1st July 2006. Andrew Brown, Academic Publishing Director at Cambridge University Press said: "We are delighted to be taking on the CABI list of very high quality journals as part of our developing journals publishing program. This is a major development for both Cambridge and CABI, and a resounding reinforcement of the aims and ideals of not-for-profit publishing." Caroline McNamara, Executive Commercial Director at CABI said: "This sale reflects CABI's newly refocused strategic direction, based upon our decision to strengthen our position as a publisher of world-leading database products and high quality books and reference works." For Cambridge this acquisition demonstrates an ongoing and accelerating commitment to STM Journals publishing. The future will see continued emphasis on building an even stronger STM list to compliment the world-leading HSS Journals list already published by Cambridge. "As well as exceeding the business and commercial expectations laid down by CABI, Cambridge University Press was also chosen because it shares CABI's not-for-profit status and scholarship-friendly principles," said Andrea Powell, Executive Director of Publishing at CABI. "We felt CUP offered an attractive alternative for our Partner Societies, and we were also confident that the whole list, including titles owned and developed by CABI for nearly 100 years, would be in good hands." Geoff Nuttall, Journals Editorial Director at Cambridge University Press said: "The relocation of the CABI journals to Cambridge is a symbol of the new ambition and dynamism of journals publishing at Cambridge University Press. With new systems, resources and a state of the art journals platform, we are able to offer publishing solutions that are strong and competitive, but still true to the ideals of Cambridge publishing. We welcome the CABI journals wholeheartedly and look forward to working closely with our new colleagues."
