A new look for the Wiley, RSC and ProQuest platforms

Several of our suppliers will be changing platforms over the next couple of months:

Wiley Online Library:
The target launch period for Wiley Online Library is over the weekend of Saturday, July 24th and Sunday, July 25th 2010. ***This has now been postponed until the weekend of 7–8 August 2010.
Wiley will confirm when Wiley InterScience will be taken down and when Wiley Online Library will be put up nearer to this target launch date. Wiley Online Library will completely replace Wiley InterScience.

News, training and screen shots of the new platform can be found here.

RSC, The Royal Society of Chemistry:
*July 27th 2010** – RSC Publishing platform will be launched*

All dynamic links to content will be set to resolve to the new platform*

The RSC Publishing platform and the old website will run in parallel to give time to highlight any broken links and amend as necessary

ProQuest:
No date confirmed for launch. Before end 2010.

The amalgamation of several companies, including Chadwyck-Healey and CSA with ProQuest has meant that several different platforms are used for the ProQuest resources. A project has been in place in ProQuest over the past year to produce a new platform for these resources. This is due to be available before the end of 2010.

Some resources will not be added to the new platform immediately, the plan is to migrate them in 2011: for example: EEBO, LION, House of Commons Parliamentary Papers.
