Hi Satu,
Advances in Polymer Science isn't a journal per se, it is one of the
Springer book series and so not accessible to us under the terms of the deal
we've signed with Springer. This may explain why you don't have access to
this title, although you didn't say what arrangement you had with Springer.
I often get caught out by this difference myself.
Cheers
Lesley

Subject: Springer LINK journals
Knowing how slow Springer are about getting back to their subscribers about
journal access problems, I thought it best to ask list members first about
the following:
We subscribe to all the journals in SpringerLINK. However, a student has
just reported that they cannot access one of our subscribed titles. The
title is Advances in Polymer Science. This journal should be available to
our institution but suddenly isn't. Springer have not notified us about any
changes to our right to access the journal either. I also noticed that when
asking for a "browse" list of all "viewable" titles, Advances in Polymer
Sciences didn't appear. BUT is also didn't appear when I asked for the A-Z
list of all journals whether "viewable" i.e. subscribed or not.
Any ideas welcomed.
Satu
