Message from Taylor & Francis re: Haworth Press journals

Taylor & Francis has been very happy to take on publishing of the
Haworth Press journals, and is committed to doing our best to address
some issues with the list, including:

- Journals not running on predictable publishing schedules.

- Haworth's non-standard renewal cycle.

- Easier online access for institutions to Haworth Press content

Haworth Press operations at their Binghamton, NY offices ceased in
March, and the past weeks have been a time of transition where customer
data, renewals, and many other facets of the Haworth Press business have
transitioned into our Philadelphia, PA journal offices.

Some important changes that will come for the Haworth Press journals
are:

- We have declared "official" 2008 volumes for all Haworth journals.
There was often confusion as to where Haworth was at in their publishing
cycle, and there were inconsistencies between their reported "current"
volumes and their actual production schedule.  We have gone through and
addressed this, and our Customer Service team can now report on the
"official" 2008  volumes to be published for Haworth journals.

- We will cease publishing any Haworth journals on an "Academic" cycle
for 2009, and will thus consolidate Haworth journal renewals with all
other Taylor & Francis journal renewals.

- We are committed to maintaining the Haworthpress.com website as the
home of the Haworth journals for all of 2008, and likely for at least 60
days into 2009.  We will, however, begin hosting Haworth Press journals
on our own informaworld platform near the end of 2008, and will work to
smoothly transition all users from the old Haworth site to informaworld.

We would like to thank the many library customers who have shown
patience during the transition, and who have indeed in many cases helped
answer our questions as well.  We will continue to provide information
on the Haworth journal program throughout 2008.

Thanks,

Ed

Hi Sandy,

We have put an announcement on the Haworthpress.com site that we will
indeed have our scheduled downtime for the server consolidation and move
tomorrow, likely from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm EST.  I can assure you that is
a bigger window than it will likely actually be down, but I have to
announce it as that.

I'd also be thrilled if you could post the following message from me.
