Early 2009?  And we have fall semester coming up?  The Haworth titles
are high use titles at our institution.  They can't do anything to speed
that up?  And why is this a "slow website" now when it was not a problem
3-6 months ago?  The site slowed down that much in just a few months and
no one can fix it for the next 6 months?

Hi Karen,
We do periodically have problems accessing the Haworth website.  Today I
can get to the Haworth website from your link, however, we have been
experiencing problems with downloading content for some time and to the
point that we just contacted T&F concerning the amount of time (30
seconds-3 minutes) it takes to download an article.

This is the response from a Taylor & Francis representative regarding
the web site:

Unfortunately, Haworth press is a slow website - we apologize for the
inconvenience. Please be advised that all former Haworth titles will be
moved to our own website, informaworld, in early 2009. This will
eliminate long downloading times and will be more convenient for the
users.
