I have to say that following all the problems the community has had with this collection of journals, I welcome MIT taking this step to safeguard access through Ingenta. I trust that the publisher is also looking into the problems we and other institutions have faced in trying to access and activate content through the new platform. And thanks Rebecca for giving clear instructions on what to do in the event of difficulty. We will be following this up at Leeds, where we are currently trying to set up the nine outstanding titles and remove an account which is not ours, and hopefully others will find the information useful.

Detailed below are the steps needed to activate online access. To allow librarians time to activate their online access, Ingenta has agreed to extend access to old content until June 1, 2006. We will also be contacting customers directly with this activation information. 5 Steps to Activate MIT Press Journals on Atypon: 1. Visit <http://www.mitpressjournals.org>http://www.mitpressjournals.org 2. Click on the orange button labeled "Activate your Online Access" 3. Select "Individual" or "Institution" 4. You will be asked to register, or log in if you have registered on this site before 5. Follow the instructions that appear onscreen. Your MIT Customer number is your "Access Token" (for individuals) or your Activation Code (institutions). Institution Administrators, you will be asked to enter your IP(s) during the activation process. If your institution has multiple accounts, an email notification has been sent for each account, requiring you to activate each time. We apologize for this inconvenience. We ask librarians who experience this problem to contact MIT Press at <mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask] so that we can merge the duplicate accounts. If librarians experience any access problems, they should contact MIT Press at <mailto:[log in to unmask]>[log in to unmask] and provide as much detail as possible so that we can help. Sincerely, Rebecca McLeod Journals Manager The MIT Press
