Just browsing thru some old posts. Like most, I stopped looking at any of the journals in 2009 when they decided to charge boatloads for something they should be handing out at every it shop, college, and tech school around.
Reading this post indicates that customers now have access again, but I've been scouring thru the research site and cannot find any indications. Instead I'm directed to join IEEE. The original article is free, but none of the rest of the journal is accessable from that link without membership. What is the procedure or link for gaining access if you are an IBM customer? thanks, tom -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Meral Temel (Garanti Teknoloji) Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 10:24 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: IBM Research z196 Papers Yes ,they are available to IBM customer accounts. Related to pricing, they were free of charge for years and then, in 2009, IBM once made them available for 9XX $ for each journal (there was no way to get each paper separately as far as I remember ) . Then with the help of some IBM executives, they became available again free to customers,students and 1.9 $ for each paper for everyone through website. Thanks to those executives who played role on the decision that made them available to customers and students again free of charge. I realized that price for each paper was increased again to these numbers through website. According to feedbacks written in here, personally I also wish every expert who want to read them and have to pay , can read them by having more reasonable price maybe...
