Re: AnthroSource and Wiley-Blackwell Ken Siegert 26 Jan 2009 16:22 UTC

When I spoke to Dion @ Anthrosource (last week), I mentioned that
some content is gone.  He said that Wiley either 1) does not have the
rights to the access, and they are working on getting those rights,
or 2) some of the older titles did not have ISSNs, and Wiley was
working on getting that corrected.  He also stated that he was
speaking to Wiley on a weekly basis to discuss problems.

So it would seem that there is probably a good chance that all
content will be restored, it'll just take time.  Did I mentioned that
Wiley still hasn't completely resolved our Blackwell merger issues.  :-)
