Hello there,
I know it's early on in the day in terms of checking the Blackwell links
on Wiley Interscience but I just thought I would make people aware that we
are already seeing loss of full text access to our subscribed Blackwell
journals on Wiley Interscience.
From our SFX link resolver, we are clicking through the old Synergy link
which is re-directing to Wiley Interscience. However, there are 2 problems:
1) It is only linking to the Wiley Interscience homepage rather than to
title level. WB have advised that they are still working on the OpenURL
links to the Blackwell content so this might take a few days. You need to
search or browse for the titles to access the journal homepage
2) More worryingly when you get to the Journal homepage, we can't access
any full text content for our subscribed journals. We have so far sample
checked around 20 titles and all are failing. They are asking for a fee or
username and password.
We have not checked the whole list of our titles but it is looking
worrying so far.
I am aware of several other libraries in the U.S. that have already
reported that no full text access is available.
Are any other libraries seeing the same thing?
Many thanks
