[Eril-l] Does anyone know anything about: Taylor & Francis to Reinstate Courtesy Access Back to 1997

[Deborah Bezanson]

Sara,

Please see the following link on the Taylor and Francis Librarian website:
https://librarianresources.taylorandfrancis.com/taylor-francis-group-responds-open-letter-sconul/

The key sentence is here:    Consequently, we have listened to our
customers and recognise that we should act upon this feedback. To that end,
we have decided to reinstate courtesy access back to 1997 and will not
enact the rolling wall for Taylor & Francis “full access” Library and
Subject Collection customers. This new policy applies with immediate effect
and we encourage customers to contact us at their earliest convenience to
discuss how this will apply in their specific case.

As I read that, if you subscribe to Subject Collections, you should still
have access back to 1997.  If you subscribe to individual titles, the
"courtesy access"  will still be for a rolling 20 years.

More detail is available at the Taylor and Francis link.
