Second reminder - Inderscience Publishers content migrates to Metapress

Users registered to access Inderscience Publishers' Table of Contents (14ToC) alerts on IngentaConnect can subscribe to the same alerts free of charge on the Metapress site by visiting http://inderscience.metapress.com and selecting 'New Issue alert' or 'RSS Feeds' from the left hand side bar.
