Jan. 20, 2011 – The University Libraries are long time subscribers to electronic journal packages from Wiley Interscience and Blackwell Synergy, providing access to electronic journal titles in social sciences, science, technology, and health.

Beginning January 2011, VIVA (the Virtual Library of Virginia) has licensed the Wiley Online Library Full Collection of over 1,300 titles including Interscience and Synergy on a single, integrated platform. VIVA and individual libraries pay a portion of the total cost of the package for a “cost share” arrangement. This license, in effect from 2011-2014, will allow Virginia libraries to control inflation costs while still providing access to a large number of high quality journals.

There are several ways to find titles available in the Wiley Online Library:

• Search the Libraries’ journal database from the library home page (Journal tab) or the Journal Title Database
• Search the library catalog, Addison for a specific journal title
• Search the Wiley Online Library for a specific journal title, or browse the title list
• Download the latest title list from the Wiley Online Library Resources for Librarians page

Content available to Virginia Tech users is marked with an unlocked padlock icon . If the content you need is blocked, please check the Journal Title Database for print or alternate electronic holdings. Please use Interlibrary Loan’s ILLiad system to request articles not available through the Journal Title Database.
