Swets Blackwell and IoPP announce linking agreement

Swets Blackwell and Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP) are pleased to
announce the agreement of a new linking partnership between Swets
Blackwell's SwetsnetNavigator service and a selection of IoPP Electronic
Services. Links to SwetsnetNavigator are available now, where relevant,
from references in IoPP Electronic Journals service and from abstracts in
Axiom�, the Institute's web-based research database.

"Extensive linking has long been a key priority at Institute of Physics
Publishing and Swets Blackwell. Each of our organisations has worked
tirelessly to ensure that we offer as much relevant linking as is
possible" says Terry Hulbert, Business Development Manager at IoPP, "It
seems only logical that we reach an agreement whereby IoPP electronic
services link to Swets Blackwell's excellent online content system."

Yvonne Campfens, Director of Publisher Relations & Marketing at Swets
Blackwell, added: "We are delighted to add Institute of Physics Publishing
to our list of linking partnerships, providing our mutual customers with
routes to a wide range of information and even more flexibility in their
research."
