Taylor & Francis eBooks now on Myilibrary
Following the sudden (but not unwelcome) demise of the Taylor & Francis eBooks platform, our 6,600+ Taylor & Francis eBooks are now available on the Myilibrary platform. We have received a new set of catalogue records and we have also been able to activate them in SFX / find it @ liverpool so that they can be reached via Google Book Search and WorldCat. As with our other Myilibrary eBooks, we access these books via UK Federation login both on- and off-campus. In practice this means that the first time you access one of these books in a session you will be prompted to login with your usual (i.e. Managed Windows Service) username and password.
Note that for a long time we have had trial access to a large number of T&F eBooks, but this access has now ceased. Actually, we have been able to keep access to the best-used of those titles (47 of them) and these will appear in the catalogue (and SFX) next week. If you find that you cannot access a title that you have come to depend on just get in touch and we should be able to purchase it to restore access within a day or two.

Taylor & Francis eBooks: They'll Be Back!
Due to 'unforeseen circumstances' with the Taylor & Francis eBooks platform we currently cannot access eBooks on that platform, and we have taken those eBooks out of the Library catalogue.
The good news is that next week we should be granted access to the titles on the Myilibrary platform instead, and this will just be a temporary measure until they finally transition to the new Taylor & Francis Online platform (which recently took over the hosting of T&F e-journals from Informaworld).
Note that for a long time we have had trial access to a large number of T&F eBooks, but we will not have access to those titles on Myilibrary (or on Taylor & Francis Online). Actually, we will be able to keep access to the best-used of those titles (around 50 at a guess). But that still means that we will have access to well over 6,000 T&F eBooks, which isn't bad.
Once access has been granted to the titles on Myilibrary, if you find that you cannot access a title that you have come to depend on just get in touch and we should be able to purchase it to restore access within a day or two.

Goodbye Informaworld. Hello Taylor & Francis Online
Today saw the launch of Taylor & Francis Online, the replacement for the much unloved Informaworld platform. T&F have set up redirects, and we have configured EZproxy to work with the new site, so clicking on our existing links for T&F journals, either from the Library Catalogue or from SFX / find it @ liverpool should take you to the journal on the new site (though you will probably have to navigate your way from there to the actual article you want).
Over the next few days we will update our links to go straight to the new site, and as the knowledge base behind SFX gets updated we will once again be able to provide direct article-level linking to T&F journals.
The Taylor & Francis Online platform will in the future be the home for T&F eBooks too, but we're not expecting those to go live until 2012.
The new site is powered by Atypon's Literatum software which powers many other publishers' sites, including Annual Reviews and the New England Journal of Medicine, so we're expecting this site to be much more reliable than Informaworld was.

Taylor & Francis SSH Collection 2009
As mentioned previously, we have renewed our subscription to the Taylor & Francis Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH) Collection for 2009.
This collection has been significantly expanded for 2009 and now includes over 1,000 titles. The additional titles come mainly courtesy of T&F's acquisitions of Haworth Press and Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.
Furthermore we have updated our records for existing titles in the collection as we now typically have access back to 1997 (or to volume 1 if we or JISC have purchased the backfiles).
Finally, T&F's policy is that newly-launched journals are included in the collection for the first two year's of their life. In year 3 we will lose all access to such journals unless we elect to subscribe to them in addition to the collection. We have temporary access to over 30 such titles.
See our catalogue records for details of the titles included.

Taylor & Francis collections for 2009
From 2009 we will no longer subscribe to the Taylor & Francis Full Collection, but will instead subscribe to their Social Sciences and Humanities collection, together with the new Informa Healthcare collection.
This change was precipitated by the transfer of the Taylor & Francis medical and healthcare journals to Informa Healthcare, a separate division of Informa plc.
Our analysis showed that it was only the medical content within the Taylor & Francis STM Collection that meant that the overall collection provided acceptable value for money. The 'rump' Science & Technology collection would have provided us with poor value. Furthermore, there were several poor value subscriptions tied into the ST Collection, and by dropping the collection we have been able to cancel the worst of these.
The consequences of this decision are:
We can still access over 700 Social Sciences and Humanties journals on the Informaworld platform. Our access typically extends back to 1997 and we will update our records, as previous years have been digitised since we originally catalogued this collection.
We have lost access to about 300 Science & Technology journals on the Informaworld platform. Where we hold (or held) individual subscriptions to titles in this collection we will still have access (to the subscribed years).
We have temporarily lost access to nearly 160 Medicine and Healthcare journals on the Informaworld platform. Once our subscription to the Informa Healthcare collection is active we will once again be able to access these journals, back to Volume 1.
We will soon have access to all titles on the Informa Pharma Sciences site (where we currently access Current Medical Research and Opinion) back to Volume 1. This will include the Expert Opinion series of titles (and about 20 title which are also hosted on Informaworld).
We will continue to be access the complete backfiles over 120 journals in the following subject areas:
Behavioral Science (i.e. Psychology)
Business, Management and Economics
Geaography, Planning, Urban and Environment
because we (or JISC) have purchased the backfiles in perpetuity.

This time last year we purchased over 6,000 e-books from Taylor & Francis. We were also granted trial online access to the remaining T&F e-books, and we have now purchased 588 of those titles - the ones that were used 5 times or more. We will also continue to have trial access to the other T&F e-books for another 12 months.
