Wiley/Synergy Workarounds

A number of workarounds are being adopted by library users to deal with the problems linking to the Synergy content that was migrated to Wiley Interscience last weekend. Here are some things you can do to get to Synergy journal articles.

1. If you have a DOI (digital object identifier) for the article in question, plug it into the DOI resolver at the following address:

   http://dx.doi.org/

   If this does not work (and it won't for some titles), plug the DOI into the Wiley resolver by cutting and pasting the DOI onto the end of the following URL:

   http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/resolve/doi?DOI=

2. If you don't have a DOI, but do have a full citation or the article's author and title, plug them into the free DOI lookup at CrossRef. Then use the DOI to link to the resource.

   http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/

If you have questions about either process, please Ask Us!
