This was exactly our thoughts as well!  Why bring down a platform that
can provide access to titles that can't be accessed on the new
platform???  Or, why not provide access to *all* content (whether or not
subscribed) until access issues are resolved?

My Serials librarian wonders out loud, "Why won't Wiley just bring up
the Synergy platform while they work out the issues on the Wiley
platform?"

Well, while we are having linking problems as well, the main issue we're
concerned about is access. Even when you get to the new journal page on
Wiley for a subscribed title, it still won't let our patrons view the
full text content.

David and Andree,

Yes, we're having problems, too. Here's what our ERM person said this
morning about the problem: "Wiley is still trying to resolve linking
problems for the Blackwell content. We have received a temporary
solution from Ex Libris for the e-Journal Finder A-Z list." It's not a
complete fix, though, as I understand it. We're a Voyager library.

Subject: [SERIALST] Blackwell Titles on Wiley

Has anyone else been experiencing access problems with the Blackwell
titles that got moved over to Wiley over the weekend?  We've been unable
to access any of the 100 plus Blackwell titles we subscribe to.  I've
called and confirmed our IP ranges, but we're still asked to log-in
whenever we click on a PDF link.  I've been told repeatedly that they're
working on the problem, but I haven't seen any progress yet.  I guess
I'd feel better if I knew I wasn't alone.  Anyone?
