Re: Elsevier Journal Pricing for 2006

Could someone from Reed Elsevier please explain what's up with the Lexis
accounts? Just how bad was the security breach?  Why is everyone being
required to reset their account? And is it true all of the academic users
are being blocked from access until they go through a set of screens
setting up a new account, which I understand can include new terms and
conditions?
