I tested the Haworth site and could not find any problems. I contacted University of Kentucky's Electronic Resources Librarian, Stephanie Nicely Aken since the original problem was reported by a UK library professor. Stephanie is not on SERIALST but she said that they investigated the reported problem and "could find no evidence that the Vundo virus was transmitted through the Haworth site".

Haworth Press, one of the major publishers of library journals, is infected with a Trojan virus. Avoid its website. However, this is easier said than done, because if you request access to a Haworth publication through a database, such as Library Lit, the bridge software that provides access to the article will send you directly to the Haworth website. You will then be infected if your machine is vulnerable. I know from personal experience yesterday. :-( I have spoken to the tech folk at Young Library and alerted them to this and they are now working on a work-around with the bridge software. In the meantime, Haworth was recently bought by Taylor & Francis, which has made the collection of journals available *for free* on this website: www.informaworld.com<http://www.informaworld.com><http://www.informaworl d.com>. The problem then is that the Informaworld website does not group library journals into its own category, so there is no easy way to find them - you must search for each journal title. Here is a list of Haworth publications covered by the Library Lit database: Australian & New Zealand Journal of Serials Librarianship Behavioral & Social Sciences Librarian Cataloging & Classification Quarterly College & Undergraduate Libraries Community & Junior College Libraries Internet Reference SErvices Quarterly Journal of Business & Finance Librarianship Journal of Interlibrary Loan & Information Supply Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Information Supply Journal of Library Administration Legal Reference Services Quarterly Library & Archival Security Medical Reference Services Quarterly Music Reference Services Quarterly Public Library Quarterly The Reference Librarian Resource Sharing and Information Networks Science & Technology Libraries The Serials Librarian Technical Services Quarterly So if your courses require readings from any of the above, use the Informaworld website to access them. Let's start off the semester without a massive virus infection. :-) Prof RM Rebecca L.
