Subject: | Introducing Taylor & Francis Online |

We are pleased to introduce Taylor & Francis Online – the new online platform
for Taylor & Francis journals and reference works.
In collaboration with librarians, researchers and scholars we have designed
Taylor & Francis Online to meet the varied needs of our user communities. Our
new platform will bring knowledge to life with:
- A clean, intuitive user interface
- Enhanced discoverability for journals and reference works
- Flexibility on how and when you access content –take knowledge on the
move with our Blackberry, iPhone and Android Applications
- A wealth of features to allow librarians to manage authentication, usage
statistics and linking
Our new platform will be launched in the coming months and will replace
access to the 1,600 journals and reference works currently on informaworld.
Initially our A&I and bibliographic databases will remain on informaworld, before
being transferred to Taylor & Francis Online at a later stage.
Why we are changing our platform from informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online
In short – we are changing because we listened to our customers. We talked
to various customer groups, including librarians, editors, authors and society
partners to get feedback on what they felt about the informaworld name. The
consensus was that a name that more closely relates to Taylor & Francis
Group and our imprints would be preferable to informaworld, and when
alternatives were put to customer vote, the favourite was Taylor & Francis
Online
Although there may be some initial work for our library customers as they
embed the new name in library catalogues, we are working to minimize the
impact this will have, and have created an FAQ document which is available to
view at http://resources.tandfonline.com/documents/library-faqs.pdf to help
address any of our library customers’ queries. Many of the features on Taylor
& Francis Online will feel very familiar to our users but with added benefits.
Quality, reliability and accessibility will remain at the core of our online
platform provision when we migrate to Taylor & Francis Online.
Getting started
To ensure the transition to Taylor & Francis Online is as smooth as possible,
we will be keeping our customers updated with developments between now
and go-live. Our plan is to minimize the impact of the transition, leaving our
customers with very little to do but enjoy our new platform. We have created
a transition site at www.tandfonline.com where we have posted FAQs, and will
update this with canned demos and details of training sessions.
Follow developments on Twitter at @TandFOnline.
With best wishes,
Jennifer McMillan

ACS Publications Library Relations is pleased to announce the debut of two
new reports for use by our librarian customers: the Customer Executive
Overview and Usage by IP. Read the FAQs here:
http://pubs.acs.org/page/4librarians/announcements.html
You will find these two new reports in the password protected Librarian
Administration Site accessible via the Librarian Resource Center (LRC) at
pubs.acs.org/4librarians. If you are unsure of your password and login to
the Librarian Admin Site, please email liblink@acs.org.
CUSTOMER EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW (CEO) - This new top-level one-page overview
provides an at-a-glance view your use of ALL ACS content (regardless of
subscription) in 6 and 12 month increments. The CEO provides year over year
comparisons of usage, as well as a quick view of percentage increases or
decreases in use and graphical representations of use.
USAGE BY IP - This new report shows article downloads by IP. While similar
to a report issued prior to the launch of the new ACS Web Editions Platform
in November 2008, this report only shows full-text downloads of HTML, PDF,
and PDF with links. Arriving monthly, this new report was issued based on
customer feedback and demand.
These reports are located in your "Other Reports" zip file, and can be
downloaded 2-3 days after your monthly COUNTER reports become available.
