[Taxacom] TL-2 Online

[Paul van Rijckevorsel]

Thank you. It is just that we were caught somewhat by surprise.

I am noting
* that the old website (http://tl2.idcpublishers.info/) is no longer
redirecting to Brill, but is now showing a referral message, which
is indeed much better!
* that TL-2 is indeed available at BHL
     - http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/103414
     - http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/103858 (Suppl.)
* that the Smithsonian site promises extra search options
(including an "advanced search" window) over and above 
what is now possible at BHL, and perhaps over what was
possible at the old, IDC, site (I have not tried this). 

Paul

PS: perhaps the IDC referral message could also mention the
Smithsonian site?

    Thank you. Although I did remember the announcement that the
    IAPT would not renew its contract with IDC, I was caught off
    guard when, a few days ago, it proved that the familiar site had
    gone off-line, without any explanation (some of the subpages
    are still there, like http://tl2.idcpublishers.info/main.php).

    So I was glad enough to have a renewed search turn up the
    announcement at the Smithsonian and it seemed worthwhile to
    draw attention to it. Presumably somebody from the
    Smithsonian would have posted here, sometime in the New Year,
    but why wait a week?
