Wiley InterScience now includes Blackwell journals


Dear Customer,



We are pleased to report that 1.6 million articles from Blackwell
journals were successfully loaded onto Wiley InterScience over the
weekend and the site went live again this Monday morning.


=================================
=================================

Blackwell journal content has been
incorporated into Wiley InterScience.

Wiley InterScience now features more than:

* 1400 journals
(3 million articles)
* 6000 online books
* 90 reference works
* 12 databases
* 15 Current Protocols
=================================================================


To view the full list of Wiley-Blackwell journals go to
www.interscience.wiley.com. You will see here several new subject
areas which we have added to now reflect the full depth and range of
the Wiley-Blackwell list. Wiley InterScience now includes 1400
journals, 6000 online books, 830 journals with backfiles back to
volume 1, and 90 online reference works spanning the disciplines, from
anthropology to astronomy, Zizek studies to zoonoses. In addition it
includes 12 databases in chemistry and evidence based medicine as well
as 10,000 laboratory protocols for the life sciences. Blackwell
Reference Online, the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology and the
International Communications Encyclopedia continue to be hosted on a
separate site: www.blackwellreference.com.


Please note that there is still some missing content from Blackwell
which we are working through. This includes some issues, articles,
parts of articles (e.g. article loaded in xml but not in PDF) plus
some missing metadata and articles which need to be fixed due to
special character rendering issues. The full list of missing content
which we are working through is listed on our transition site here:
interscience.wiley.com/transition. Updates will be posted here as
items are resolved.


We have redirected most links to their nearest equivalent on Wiley
InterScience. However, we are still working on the OpenURL links to
ensure they resolve direct to the appropriate journal rather than the
main homepage. We will have this in place within a few days.

We have migrated the majority of customer license terms and access
rights from Synergy to InterScience successfully. However, if you do
experience any problems with your access or have any queries, please
contact our Customer Support team who are offering round-the-clock,
round-the-world customer service during this transition period:
interscience.wiley.com/support. You will also see here a Self-Help
service with answers to many frequently asked questions.

If you are not familiar with Wiley InterScience then please use our
online tutorials or sign up for a free online webinar here:

Thank you to all our customers for your support for Blackwell Synergy
over the last 10 years. You helped to build the site into one which
has been enormously popular with a large international user community
resulting in more than 20 million user sessions and over 8 million PDF
article downloads per month this year. Work is well underway on the
new Wiley-Blackwell online platform which will include many of the
popular features of Synergy as well as InterScience and which we will
be launching in early 2009. More information about this new service
will be provided to you in due course.
