Peter Jacso Posts Second Gale.com Review for Janaury: Blackwell-Synergy

Dr. Peter Jacso from the Uniersity of Hawaii writes:

Blackwell’s digital collection includes more than 1 million articles from nearly 900 journals. The bibliographic records and abstracts are open access; the full-text documents are available for subscribers in a variety of pricing options. More than 60% of Blackwell’s journals are covered both by Web of Science and Scopus, indicating the importance of the Blackwell’s titles. The new user interface has a cleaner design with new features, but it still leaves room for further refinements. Even if your library subscribes to the digital full-text of only some of the Blackwell titles, the possibility to search for free the bibliographic data, the abstracts and the full text of all the digitized articles in this genuinely multidisciplinary collection can make it an important tool on a digital reference shelf.
