Transfer of journal content from Blackwell Synergy to Wiley InterScience from June 30th 2008.
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/wiley-blackwell/transition_end-users.html
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
Information for Registered Users of Blackwell Synergy
* No action is necessary — all active accounts* will be migrated automatically. If you already have a Wiley InterScience account your information will be combined. You may be requested to accept new terms and conditions the first time you log in after June 30th.
* Blackwell Synergy will close at the end of June 27th. During the transition weekend of June 28th and 29th Wiley InterScience will be unavailable for a period. Look out for notes on this website nearer the time for more details.
