Yes, we have noticed this at the University of Bradford. This blocking is
very random in nature as well. We've just very recently updated our links to
inform users of the changes and now Blackwell Synergy content for UoB has
changed again. There has been no communication to us about this from
Blackwell Synergy at all.

Subject: Blackwell Synergy "partial access" titles
We subscribe to the Science, Technology and Medicine Collection from
Blackwell.
We notice more and more titles having the category of "partial access"
where we used to have full access
(indicated by the full-green circle versus the half-green circle).
We may find where we did have a full run of years, we are now blocked from
a year right in the middle of the run.
Have not yet received a reply from Blackwell to my query about this.
Has anyone else noticed this, and any idea what's going on?
Thanks very much for any and all opinions.
