Timeline From November 2008 we will begin to load journal titles formerly published by Haworth Press to www.informaworld.com. From this point, no new content with a 2009 volume year will be added to www.haworthpress.com, nor will any new accounts be created on the site. We expect this load to be complete by mid-December, and for all Haworth content to be available on informaworld from this point.
