Some important things to remember:
* No new Wiley-Blackwell content will be published online from June
21st until July 7th. After July 7th, publication schedules will
resume as usual.
* Links to journals on Blackwell Synergy will automatically redirect
to Wiley InterScience. There is no need for you to change your links.
* Subscriptions for Blackwell journals on Synergy will migrate to
Wiley InterScience, with the terms of all existing licenses honored
* If you have activated TPS access for your institution, see
*interscience.wiley.com/transition*
for details on updating your TPS script.
* These access options *will continue* to function seamlessly:
• IP authentication
• Athens authentication
• Username and password access
* For the Library/Customer Administration area, we have matched
Synergy and Wiley InterScience accounts so you will be able to
manage all your Wiley and Blackwell journals using your existing
Wiley InterScience Administrator login. If you do not already have
a Wiley InterScience administrator ID, you will receive further
instructions after the transition.
* From September 2008 onwards, usage data for Blackwell journals
will be available on Wiley InterScience, presented in a separate
report but in the same format as that offered for Wiley journals.
Usage data for Blackwell journals for the period prior to December
2005 will not be transferred to Wiley InterScience and will no
longer be available.
* We are running several free Webex training sessions about Wiley
InterScience, including how to use the library administration
area. For more information about joining these webinars, visit:
