Wiley InterScience - IReL renewed subscription - some changes

Introduced in 1997, Wiley InterScience incorporates, since June 2008, the online content formerly hosted on Blackwell Synergy, to provide access to over 3 million articles across 1400 journals.

The IReL licence, renewed up until 31/12/2012, covers access to over 1300 of these journals, of which roughly 1200 are full text. Our IReL licence does not cover access to all 1400 journals. It excludes newly launched titles and acquisitions from other publishers. For a list of titles which the new IReL subscription does not cover, see the entry on the IReL website.
