From June 30th 2008 the journal content currently available on Blackwell Synergy www.blackwellsynergy.com will be delivered through Wiley InterScience www.interscience.wiley.com due to the merger of Wiley-Blackwell's online journal systems.

This is a first step in the development of a next generation online publishing platform, arriving early 2009, which will deliver Wiley-Blackwell journals, online books, reference works, databases, protocols and other electronic resources through one integrated service.

The benefits will begin immediately after June 30th:

* One-stop access to a dramatically expanded range of relevant material
* approximately 3 million articles
* 1400 journals
* 5000 online books, reference works and databases
