Dear Jennifer,
But that is the issue ...
The new pricing policy of print plus online or print only is a real
quandary for continuity and receipt regarding delayed publications. To
be good stewards on the fiscal end we may have to move to print only to
insure receipt. I don't like the decision I may have to make.

Hi Ken,

Just to clarify the Haworth Press price structure for 2008:

Haworth had one institutional price in 2007 that combined print and
online access.

>From 2008 they have a print/online price, a print only price and an
online only price, so no one will loss online access unless they elect
to go print only.

Do get in touch if you have any further questions.

With best wishes

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
