I totally agree with you Jackie, its the most stupid thing. My first
worry is of course, not being in the UK, I hope RNIB will still allow
us international people to subscribe. But I think its crap what
they've done for a few reasons:
1. The new web address doesn't really mean anything, its longer and
more complicated.
2. They aren't going to be sending out on emails anymore, I think
that's just an excuse not to have kept the email system going. Are we
now to be expected to go and look ever so often to check if there are
new publications?
3. Once you do actually log in, you have to go through millions of
links just to get to the file of the paper you want anyway.
And New Scientist and Nature aren't available anymore apparrently. Its
like they've gone backwards, not forwards!
