Like others we are a little confused about the future of EasyLinks.
A query using the Contact form on the ingenta site produced a reply from the
ingenta Helpdesk in the US that the BIDS format
http://www.bids.ac.uk/journals/browse/bpl/acfi?mode=direct
will not be maintained and the ingenta format is needed.
Is this correct - or does the US part of the company not understand BIDS? If
it is correct then what is the timescale?
We would prefer not to have to change the URLs for 2000 titles on our Web
database and the library catalogue.
Kirsty wrote that "We intend to migrate BIDS users to the new service in the
next few months" What does this mean?
