John and others,

I had seen this before.  I believe you are correct that it only includes the
Kluwer Academic titles.  If they keep it up we'll only have Elsevier and
Springer.

Subject: [Backmed] Kluwer Academic Publishers Sold

Colleagues:

Somewhere I missed it and I don't know how many others did as well.

On the Springer (Verlag) web site, I found information that Kluwer
Academic Publishers titles have been sold to Springer.  Apparently the
announcement was made in January and competed in June 2004.  This was
from the Notice that for 2005, Springer was changing online access and
charging 20% More which KAP was doing.

Apparently this does NOT AFFECT  the Wolters Kluwer Health group of
companys whic I Think includes Ovid and the LWW (Lippincott Williams &
WIlkins) as well as others.

Did you know?
