Blackwell & Wiley online journal sites to merge June 28-29

The online journal site Blackwell Synergy is merging with the Wiley InterScience site during the weekend of June 28-29. Both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience online journals will be unavailable for a period of time this weekend while the transition to a single interface is being completed. After the merger, the Blackwell Synergy Web addresses will redirect to the Wiley InterScience site. The combined companies will be called Wiley-Blackwell.
No action is necessary; active accounts will be migrated automatically. Users who have set up preferences in the My Synergy area will have their registration automatically moved, and will be able to log in on Wiley InterScience with the same email and password. Pages bookmarked in Blackwell Synergy will be redirected to the relevant pages in Wiley InterScience.
If you have questions or experience problems with any online journal due to this merger, please contact Jeff Perkins in the Library by email or at 214-648-2004 so he can assist you.
