Despite all efforts before this transition, we have lost all but two of our Haworth titles now that they have been migrated to Informaworld.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Perpetual Access to former Haworth titles now Taylor Francis

Dear folks,
I have sent a spreadsheet to InformaWorld regarding our perpetual access
to our former Haworth titles.  I am now being told I have to come up
with "proof."  None of our past content is available.  This whole
transition has been one big mess!  At one point we lost access to items
we currently subscribe to.  With the limited amount of staff time I have
available it is going to take a great deal of work to come up with the
"proof" that is being request.  If anyone has any ideas please share them.
Thanks!
