Hello,
I was just notified today, via a Listserv, that BMJ will be releasing the full back archive of all 23 journals. This will mean that users can access all content older than 12 months. However, BMJ is also requiring users to register in order to access content and users will not be able to access this content via IP authentification. The first title to undergo this change is Journal of Clinical Pathology, which changed as of April 2. Users are verified via IP authentification when they access pdfs that are published within the most recent 12 months; however, they are routed to a sign in page if they try to access anything older than 12 months. I am anticipating that we will be receiving calls at the reference desk or through MedRef regarding access to the BMJ titles and will keep you posted as I find out more information.
