Dear Louise
You're right that there are still some anomalies between the content on IngentaConnect and on Blackwell Synergy. Work is underway, and has been for some time, to patch this up by January and to ensure that each article has the appropriate metadata for linking to Synergy for the full text. Like you say, the discrepancies mostly lie with transfer or ceased titles and we will restore rightful access on Synergy and then remove the content for these titles from IngentaConnect.
Related to this, some discrepancies in access rights between IngentaConnect and Synergy have been identified and this will be resolved during the transition. For 2007, the access rights granted through Synergy will accurately reflect your subscriptions, archival rights and the licensing policy of Blackwell Publishing.
If you have any questions about specific titles please contact me directly.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Emily

Subject: Blackwell's move from ingenta to Synergy
Dear all
Following Emily's posting earlier today, can I just ask if anyone else
is still finding a discrepancy between holdings of Blackwell titles
available to them on ingentaconnect and through Synergy?
We still have one or two outstanding issues, mainly concerning titles
which have ceased publication or been sold and do not appear on Synergy;
or with the years of coverage being slightly different.
I hope Blackwell can guarantee that the content matches on both services
before they remove the ingentaconnect content altogether, or make
alternative provision for that content to be accessed.
Best wishes
Louise
