Re: Kluwer Online Journals

[Kimberly Parker <kimberly.parker@yale.edu>]

Our library has a subscription to Kluwer Online, and still has access.
What we are missing (access is rejected for) are the few issues that were
released with 2002 dates.  There aren't that many of them yet, so this
hasn't become a major concern for us yet, but I do regularly express my
distress at this situation to our customer representative.

Hope this is helpful in that it tells you that not ALL academic libraries
have lost access to everything in Kluwer Online.
