On a technical point - I believe T&F Online is on the Atypon Literatum platform. I don't know whether Cambridge Core is, or whether CUP developed their own platform.

Hey everybody,

I was trying to log into Cambridge today and noticed the new "Cambridge Core" seems to have adopted the same bad platform as Taylor & Francis, just with different branding. Dumbed down, no Advanced Search, no Journal Titles A-Z, generic Bootstrap look, hard to see what you have access to until you drill down to the article level.

http://taylorandfrancis.com/

I'm unable to articulate in a polite way my displeasure so I'll just leave those links for others to browse, unhappily.
