Ian - linking redirects will be put in place at launch and we have worked with third parties to ensure their links redirect. This means that you should not have to manually change links. However, because we know there are many old versions of the URLs (Wiley InterScience and Blackwell Synergy) out there we are also providing information and resources so that these can be manually updated.

Other suppliers seem to be able to change platform without requiring each subscribing library to do this work, so why not Wiley? Our spend with them is far from insignificant. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation and there is a way to do this as a batch process? If so, I'd be delighted to have my ignorance remedied...
