As far as I can see - Blackwells Synergy is an Athens Compliant service - so you should be able to affix your Blackwells Synergy subscriptions to your nhs Athens organisation prefix. Not sure if you may get charged by Athens for this - probably £100 - but don't quote me on it...

Subject: Blackwell Synergy problems?

Morning all

Does anyone else have as much trouble as I have trying to access journals
via this?  We have a subscription to the particular journal I'm trying to
access, but I seem to go round in circles, being repeatedly told I need to
buy the article/have an online subs.  After numerous emails between me and
their helpdesk, I am waiting for our IT dept. to come & see if they can sort
it - seems to be an IP address/NHS firewall problem - , but we are not
exactly top of their list of priorities - just wondered if anyone else had
a) had the problem, and b) found a simple answer, while I 'm awaiting IT's
attention.

Regards,
