Esteemed colleagues,

As you are probably aware, many of the titles in the Highwire Press Free
Journals database are actually paid-subscription journals.  They make
their content freely available after a certain length of time, but the
most recent content is reserved for paid subscribers.  So, it is
possible that in some cases your users are trying to gain access to
more-or-less current content of journals in this category, which is
embargoed, and for that reason are denied access.

Hi Barbara,

We've also had this issue brought to our attention recently.  I
generally refer to the Highwire free title list:

http://highwire.stanford.edu/lists/freeart.dtl#ajprenal

I add a public note to any titles that only give access to "certain
sections".

Hope that helps!
Cynthia
