[GOAL] Re: Taylor & Francis Opens Access with new OA Program!

[Heather Morrison]

Michael Carroll has brought up some good questions about the details.  
I'd like to check the details, too, but can't find them.. Is there a  
URL for the announcement and preferably links to details? I can't see  
one this morning on the Taylor & Francis website:
http://www.taylorandfrancis.com/

Jennifer - I would also be very interested in hearing how this  
announcement impacts the other "brands" of T&F's parent company,  
informa.plc.

One specific question is about how this new program will intersect  
with informa.plc's commercial document delivery services (sales of  
articles, reprints, etc.), and also sub-licensing of the same.

For the benefit of list members who may be less familiar with the  
larger company that owns Taylor & Francis and its business operations,  
here are two examples of these services.

informa healthcare - e.g. - "purchase online journal content by  
article", at: http://informahealthcare.com/

Reprint (reseller) adds informa healthcare titles to document delivery  
service:  "January 5, 2010–Reprints Desk, Inc.®, the content  
workflowcompany, today announced an agreement with Informa plc  
(INF.LN) that enables the companyto deliver individual Informa  
articles in PDF and paper format from more than 1,000 peer-reviewed  
scholarly journals. The agreement with Informa Healthcare and Life  
Sciences titles,along with previously signed agreement with Taylor &  
Francis, means that Reprints Desk now has formal agreements with the  
world’s five largest commercial publishers of peer-reviewed  
scientific, technical, and medical (STM) journals".
