Taylor & Francis Online - launch date

["McMillan, Jennifer " <Jennifer.McMillan@tandf.co.uk>]

Dear Liblicense,

Taylor & Francis' new online platform, Taylor & Francis Online, 
www.tandfonline.com, will replace access to the 1,600 Journals 
and Reference Works currently on informaworld.

LAUNCH DATE

We are now able to confirm that Taylor & Francis Online will be 
live from 27th June 2011. We are currently in the advanced stages 
of testing and plan to migrate from informaworld to Taylor & 
Francis Online over the course of the weekend beginning 25th June 
2011. During this period your users will still be able to access 
content as normal as we gradually redirect from informaworld to 
Taylor & Francis Online. The new site will then be live from 27th 
June.

You will still be able to access your Abstracting & Indexing and 
Bibliographic databases on informaworld as normal, and we will 
send you notice once we are ready to move these to Taylor & 
Francis Online.

GETTING STARTED

We recommend that you log in and familiarize yourself with the My 
Account area soon after go-live. To log in, use the email address 
and password associated with your institution's informaworld 
account.

As part of the move to Taylor & Francis Online we have 
rationalized the way in which our institutional customers 
administer their accounts. This will give you greater control 
over who can access usage statistics and manage authentication on 
behalf of your institution. Any institutional customer whose 
email address is currently attached to an account on informaworld 
with an IP address will be the designated administrator at 
launch.

If you have problems logging in to your institution's account 
please either contact your institution's administrator, who can 
set you up with administrative access, or get in touch with our 
support desk who will be delighted to assist at: 
support@tandfonline.com

We have provided a handy tick-list of things that you can do 
before and after go-live to ensure the migration runs smoothly 
for your library. This is available at:

TRAINING

We now have online tutorials of the site as well as print 
training resources for you and your library users. There are over 
35 online demonstrations guiding you through the features of the 
new website. They can now be found at 
http://resources.tandfonline.com/tutorials/. These are 
copyright-cleared and we are happy for you to use these in 
library demonstrations.

We will also be scheduling webinar demonstrations of the site 
post launch.

If you are going to be at a library conference, do make sure you 
call at our stand where our sales staff will be able to help you 
with questions you have about the new platform. You can see where 
we will be exhibiting at:
