Wiley/Blackwell

Access to our subscribed Blackwell titles in Wiley Interscience has been restored and all Catalogue URLs are being redirected correctly.

Some back issues, ceased journals, and other content is still to be loaded – there is an Excel file of missing content on the Wiley/Blackwell transition site. Some Synergy features will not be restored until the new Wiley platform is implemented early next year.

Please let me know of any problems

Blackwell Journals

An update on Blackwell/Wiley transition – access to some of our subscribed titles is complete but we are still unable to access our full entitlement. This has been logged and is being worked on. Also, not all Blackwell content has yet been uploaded to WIS.

OpenURL redirecting problems are expected to be resolved by Tuesday July 15. Most journal-level and DOI-based links are redirecting to their equivalent pages on Wiley InterScience, but openURLs based on volume, issue and page number parameters are not yet redirecting correctly.

A list of the titles with free content will be posted in the next few days.
