Wiley Online Library: Downtime

Wiley Online Library is currently unavailable while the publisher conducts essential maintenance.

Wiley apologize for any inconvenience and are working to bring the site back online as soon as possible.

New Wiley-Blackwell journal agreement

The Library has signed up to the new JISC Collections NESLi2 'Big Deal' journal agreement with Wiley-Blackwell.

Under the new agreement, which runs for 3 years from 2012 to 2014, we have decided to cancel a few low-use (but usually high-price) titles and we have been able to fund a subscription to Geography Compass which was requested in this year's journals review.

The previous agreement started in 2009 and the collection of titles that it included had been static sincethen. This new agreement includes over 130 additional titles which will be available to us from the start of 2012 (including History Compass which was also request in the journals review, and Literature Compass):

Blackwell journals now in Wiley InterScience

As of July 30th we believe that we have access to all the Blackwell Publishing journals that we should have access to, including subscribed titles that are outside the NESLi2 collections, and to our purchased Blackwell Publishing backfiles.

Wiley-Blackwell report that 1.6 million additional articles from Blackwell journals have been successfully loaded onto Wiley InterScience. After a few additional downtime hours they have now made the Wiley InterScience site live again. There may be intermittent service in the short term while they stabilize the site. They have also now permanently shut down the Synergy site.

They have redirected most links to their nearest equivalent on Wiley InterScience. However, they are still working on the OpenURL links which currently redirect to the Wiley InterScience homepage rather than the journal page, as they should. These links will be back in place in a few days. If you are not familiar with Wiley InterScience then please use the online tutorials or sign up for a free online webinar here: http://www.interscience.wiley.com.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/tutorials

To view the full list of Wiley-Blackwell journals go to http://www.interscience.wiley.com.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/. You will see here several new subject areas which they have added to now reflect the full depth and range of the Wiley-Blackwell list. Wiley InterScience now includes 1,400 current journals, and 660 titles with backfiles back to volume 1. The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology will continue to be hosted on a separate site: http://www.blackwellreference.com.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/subscriber/uid=919/beos_subscriber

There is still some missing content from Blackwell which they are working through. This includes some issues, articles, parts of articles (e.g. article loaded in xml but not in PDF) plus some missing metadata and articles which need to be fixed due to special character rendering issues. The full list of missing content which they are working through will be listed on their transition site: http://www.interscience.wiley.com.ezproxy.liv.ac.uk/transition and this will be updated weekly.

Work is well underway on the new Wiley-Blackwell online platform which will include many of the best features of Synergy as well as InterScience and which we will be launching in early 2009. More information about this new service will be provided in due course.

Blackwell Synergy site ceases June 30th

Following the merger of Blackwell Publishing with John Wiley and Sons, the Blackwell Synergy site will cease to be available after June 30th 2008. All content on the Blackwell Synergy site, including current issues, backfiles, and issues published online before print, will be transferred to the Wiley InterScience site as of 1st July 2008.

A completely new, 'next-generation' Wiley-Blackwell site will be launched in 2009 that we are promised will include the best features of both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience and which will introduce innovative new functionality and capabilities.

Wiley-Blackwell assure us that:

- all Blackwell journal access rights will be transferred, enabling continuous access to our licensed content
- existing Synergy URLs and links will redirect to the content on Wiley InterScience
- they will work with link resolver vendors (e.g. our SFX / find it @ liverpool service from Ex Libris) to redirect links to Wiley InterScience
- DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) are persistent and so will continue to work after the move to Wiley InterScience
- they have upgraded Wiley InterScience to accommodate the addition of Blackwell books, journals and customers
- the accounts for all registered users on Blackwell Synergy will transfer to Wiley InterScience so that users continue to receive the journal E-TOCs and other alerts that they have signed up for

Note that:

- Wiley Interscience does not include icons to indicate whether you are entitled to full-text access (but the new Wiley-Blackwell site coming in 2009 will)
- the Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology will remain on its existing platform for now
- Linguistics Abstracts Online will remain on its existing platform for now
