Change to Blackwell journals on IngentaConnect from January 2007
Please be informed that from January 1st 2007, the full text of
articles in Blackwell Publishing journals will no longer be
hosted on IngentaConnect. Libraries wishing to continue to
provide online access to these journals should activate their
access on Blackwell Synergy (http://www.blackwell-synergy.com).
IngentaConnect will continue to host the metadata for Blackwell
Publishing journals (including the tables of contents and
abstracts) but users wishing to access the full text (in PDF or
HTML format) will be directed to Blackwell Synergy where their
access rights will be validated. Users whose access is not
validated by Blackwell Synergy will be offered the option to buy
'pay per view' access on IngentaConnect.
Philippa Scoones, Web Publishing Director at Blackwell
Publishing, described the move as an extension of the partnership
between Ingenta and Blackwell. "We have worked closely with
Ingenta for almost ten years and they have successfully provided
access to our journals online to a good number of library
customers. As we develop our own online journals platform,
Blackwell Synergy, to be the primary source for searching and
linking to Blackwell content, we want to be sure that all our
customers benefit by linking through to the full text on
Synergy".
- What Library Administrators Need to Do -
Customers who have not yet activated their account on Blackwell
Synergy should do so before the end of December 2006 in order to
ensure a seamless transition with no loss of access for you or
your users. If you have not yet received activation
instructions, please send an email directly to
Dean.Martin@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com providing the following
information:
* Your name and email address
* Your institution's name and addresses of all the main sites
covered by your library
* Your Blackwell Customer ID(s), if you know them
* List of the Blackwell journals you have a subscription to
We will then send you detailed instructions for activating and
administering your institutional access to subscribed to journals
via Blackwell Synergy. You should find these instructions easy
to follow, but if not, our customer service team will be
available to help with this transition. Please email
Dean.Martin@oxon.blackwellpublishing.com directly, or call your
nearest Blackwell office: +44 (0) 1865 778315 UK, +65 6511 8000
Singapore, and 1-800-835-6770 or 1-781-388-8200 for customers in

- About Online Journals from Blackwell Publishing -
All institutional subscriptions to Blackwell Publishing journals
include an element of online access. For the first time in 2007,
standard print subscriptions will include online access to the
current and two previous years' content, increased from the one
year previously offered. Premium subscriptions include print
plus online access to current content, content dating back to
January 1st 1997, and OnlineEarly articles published online
before print. Online Only subscriptions include the same access
rights as Premium. Both Premium and Online Only subscriptions
include archival rights to paid-for content.
- What Online Access via Blackwell Synergy Offers -
Libraries which provide online access to Blackwell journals
through Blackwell Synergy (http://www.blackwell-synergy.com) are
offering the optimum service for their patrons. For example,
OnlineEarly content (now available for 250 journals) is only
provided on Blackwell Synergy. Your users will also have access
to a highly linked feature-rich research environment where the
articles are available in both full-text HTML as well as PDF
versions, rather than just the PDF available on other platforms.
In addition it is only on Blackwell Synergy that your users will
be able to access Online Open author-pays articles as they are
published.
Blackwell Synergy will relaunch with a new look at the beginning of
2007. More information will follow.
