At Southampton we had access to over one hundred and eighty pharmaceutical, lifesciences and medicine titles as part of an STM Taylor & Francis deal, which have now been put into a separate JISC consortia Informacare deal instead for 2009. Although we can now access the forty pharmaceutical titles that have moved to the new Atypon-hosted website, we have lost access for well over a week to all the rest that are still on InformaWorld, prompting a lot of complaints from puzzled users. I e-mailed the contact at Informa Healthcare a couple of days ago to follow this up, but haven't yet had a response, so have now just tried the InformaWorld Help desk. I am surprised that something wasn't put in place to prevent this loss of access.

Your question about statistics is a very relevant one and it would be nice to know some URL redirects will be in place at least for the first few months. I hope Informa's journals thrive and develop on their new platform. I also welcome the addition of archive issues of these journals though; a good step forward. The original post from Kirstin is below with some cuts to highlight the main points of interest to us, in case subscribers have missed the key announcement.

One more place to link to, another place to pull stats from, .... It basically looks and acts like the old site, just more work for those of us maintaining the links.
