Request from Taylor and Francis publishers via the NHM Publishing Department. T&F publish the current NHM journals JSP and S and B and would like to add older Bulletins of the British Museum (Natural History) as part of their "offer". many of the Museum's Bulletins are already on. T&F wonder if they could add any any value, drive traffic to BHL etc. Their question is could they use the digital version of the Bulletins on BHL as part of their offer. (Jane)
