Wiley Interscience Backfile Problems

The library has recently discovered that access to back issues of Wiley Interscience journals (generally, volume 1 to 1995) has been dropped for a random number of titles to which the library is actually subscribed. We are working with Wiley to recover the lost content, but access may not be restored for a week or longer. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our users.

RefWorks Back Online

RefWorks is working once again, although the library has noticed it does so in a much slower fashion. We will continue to work with RefWork's technical support department to get it fully operational. If our users notice any new problems with RefWorks, we request that they contact the Reference Librarian on duty (or call 972-883-2643) with a detailed description of the problem they are experiencing (nature of problem, time of day accessed, browser used, and whether it was accessed on- or off-campus).
