Hi all,
We just received the following message from Springer regarding access to
their electronic journal products. Please share this
information with your colleagues.
========================
Recently, the Springer-LINK server was
compromised. Until the extent of the damage is fully determined we have
made the decision to make the server inactive. Consequently, to ensure
that service is available, all traffic to the NY LINK site has been
temporarily redirected to our German master server. This should provide
users with uninterrupted access to LINK
Unfortunately, due to the significant increase in traffic to our German
server, you may experience slightly slower download times. We are
continuously monitoring the situation and our dedicated European support
staff are working to increase bandwidth. However, in the interim you may
find quicker downloads in the afternoon and evening since there is a
six-hour time difference to Germany (6 hrs ahead of EST).
Additionally, the link to the subscription list (below) is not
functioning correctly.
http://link.springer-ny.com/servlets/SpringerViewProducts
If you are using this link, please switch to:
http://link.springer-ny.com/link/sub_list
You can leave this link
set-up permanently in your system since it is the standard link for NY to
your subscription list.
We at Springer apologize for any inconvenience and disruption that this
may have caused. We take pride in offering excellent customer support and
will continue to keep you updated. Please do not hesitate to contact or
call us with questions, concerns, or problems.
