    360KB: Blackwell Synergy and Wiley Interscience Databases: Database Retirement -- May 2018

    What is happening to the Blackwell Synergy and Wiley Interscience databases?

    Blackwell Synergy and Wiley Interscience were the two separate provider platforms prior to the Wiley-Blackwell merger and platform unification that occurred between 2008 and 2010; the merger yielded the unified Wiley Online Library platform.

    The 360KB still contains remnants, including databases with title-level information and linking, of these deprecated platform databases. These databases have not been supported by the provider and have not been updated. This may lead to confusion for clients who still subscribe to these databases in their profiles.

    In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on our Knowledgebase collection policy), and in accordance with the Wiley Realignment and Standardization project being undertaken in collaboration between Wiley and ourselves, all titles will be removed from non-consortium Blackwell Synergy and Wiley Interscience databases and the databases will be hidden in the Knowledgebase on May 30, 2018. The databases will become a zero-titles databases, and no future subscriptions will be possible.

    Please refer to the following table, also available as an Excel spreadsheet, for the full list of databases that will be retired.

     

    Note: Since consortia, rather than this provider, are in charge of maintaining their own titles lists, consortium databases fall outside the scope of this realignment project and their titles will not be removed. If you are a consortium administrator who would like to retire your consortium Wiley databases, please contact Support. Refer to the second table at the very end of this article for the list of consortium databases that will be kept.

     

    Actions you may need to take:

    • You may wish to deselect these databases from your profile, especially if you have been tracking the appropriate Wiley Online Library databases.
    • If you are a 360 Resource Manager, 360 Counter, or Intota client, you may need to make some changes to your account settings before May 30, 2018:
