Registration
Each institution is required to register to use Wiley-Blackwell former Synergy content.  If you have not used this resource before you may need to check if your institution is registered and identify the contact person who has your access details. To do this, please go to INASP registration database and select your country and institution.

Usage data
For the Library/Customer Administration area, we have matched Synergy and Wiley InterScience accounts so you will be able to manage all your Wiley and Blackwell journals using your existing Wiley InterScience Administrator login. If you do not already have a Wiley InterScience administrator ID, you will receive further instructions after the transition.

From September 2008 onwards, usage data for Blackwell journals will be available on Wiley InterScience, presented in a separate report but in the same format as that offered for Wiley journals. Usage data for Blackwell journals for the period prior to December 2005 will not be transferred to Wiley InterScience and will no longer be available.
