[Eril-l] Cambridge adopted the same bad platform as Taylor & Francis?

[Leslie Burke]

What I do really like is the prominent check box on Cambridge Core for "only search content I have access to". This should be obvious on sites (yes, I understand the marketing aspects of this, but I'm more concerned about the frustration of my students and faculty who don't understand why everything is not available).

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.
