Hi Jennifer,
Does this mean that the Haworth titles will still be offered as print
w/free online in 2008? Or only after the transition to T&F?
Just prior to the announcement that T&F was buying Haworth, we
received notice from EBSCO that online access would no longer be free
with our Haworth print subscriptions. In preparation of the up-
charge, I just deleted our URLs for our 4 Haworth titles.
Thanks,
Ken
