As a complete aside, is anyone taking bets on when the 'Blackwell' vanishes
from Wiley-Blackwell? Weeks? Months? June 30th?
Everyone at Garsington Road already seems to be using @wiley.com email
addresses and happily signing themselves as 'John Wiley & Sons'. Goodwill's
a remarkable transient thing isn't it? Roger ;~)

Subject: [LIS-E-JOURNALS] Blackwell Synergy journals merging into Wiley
InterScience June 30
PLEASE NOTE: All journal content on Blackwell Synergy is merging into Wiley
InterScience
As of Monday, June 30th 2008, all Blackwell journal content - including all
full-text HTML and PDF versions of articles from current issues, backfiles,
and issues published online before print - will be incorporated into Wiley
InterScience.
We plan to close Blackwell Synergy at the end of business (Pacific Standard
Time) on Friday June 27th and we anticipate that the migration will be
completed by Monday June 30th. Over the weekend of June 28th and 29th, there
will be a period when both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience will be
unavailable while we transition and re-index data.
After June 30th, Blackwell Synergy will no longer be available.
Please forward this message to any library colleagues in your institution
who need to know and help us to inform your patrons. We have written to all
registered users on Blackwell Synergy and you will also see banners
informing about the change on both sites.
Details about the actual downtime period will be posted on each site prior
to June 27th, and you can find other essential information and FAQs about
the change in service here:
* http://www.interscience.wiley.com/transition - for Librarians and
Institutional Customers
* http://www.interscience.wiley.com/transition-users - for Individual End
Users
* http://www.interscience.wiley.com/support - Customer Support contact
information
* http://www.interscience.wiley.com/training - to sign up to a free webinar
about using Wiley InterScience
=================================================================
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.
* These access options will continue to function seamlessly:
- IP authentication
- Athens authentication
- Username and password access
* If you have activated TPS access for your institution, see
http://www.interscience.wiley.com/transition for details on updating your
TPS script.
* 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 is no longer be available.
=================================================================
New Online Service Launching in 2009
This transition to Wiley InterScience is in preparation for the launch of
our next-generation online service for all Wiley-Blackwell journals, books,
reference works, databases, laboratory protocols, and other Wiley resources
in 2009. This will include many of the best features of the current
platforms and more, enabling us to deliver even greater publishing
capabilities and customer value for the future. More information about the
new service, will be provided well
in advance of the launch date in 2009.
If you have any queries, please contact our Customer Support service
(Regional contact details are posted here:
http://www.interscience.wiley.com/support) or your usual Wiley-Blackwell
Account Manager.
We will do our very best to ensure a smooth change and thank you for your
patience and support during this transition time.
Best wishes,
Emily Gillingham
Director, Library and Institutional Marketing
