Blackwell Synergy shuts down

Blackwell Synergy will close down at the end of business (Pacific Standard Time) on Friday June 27th.

All of our journal content will move to Wiley Interscience, ready to use by Monday June 30th.

Over the weekend of June 28th and 29th there will be a period when Wiley InterScience will be unavailable while the transition takes place.

The Blackwell Synergy link on the Databases A-Z page will remain for the time being, but will redirect you to Wiley Interscience. OPAC links for Blackwell titles will redirect you to the equivalent page on Wiley Interscience.

New EBSCO platform

A new version of the EBSCOhost platform starts in July.

You can try the new version by clicking on the New Features link at the top of the EBSCOhost main page.

Archaeology – new resource

We’ve access now to the Internet Archaeology archive  – the premier e-journal for archaeology.

Access comes thanks to a JISC deal which gives us free access to the site.  We get access to the journal’s content from 1996 to 2006 (issues 1-21).

It covers a range of subject areas besides archaeology – such as biological and earth sciences, creative arts, geography and art history.
