Blackwell Synergy Journals Moving to Wiley InterScience

As of Monday, June 30th 2008, all Blackwell journal content—including all full-text HTML and PDF versions of articles from current issues, backfiles, and issues published online before print—will be incorporated into Wiley InterScience.

We plan to close Blackwell Synergy at the end of business (Pacific Standard Time) on Friday June 27th and we anticipate that the migration will be completed by Monday June 30th. Over the weekend of June 28th and 29th, there will be a period when both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience will be unavailable while we transition and re-index data.

After June 30th, Blackwell Synergy will no longer be available.

LibraryThing will be added to the Library Catalog

On Monday, June 23, LibraryThing for Libraries will be added into the Library Catalog.

LibraryThing (www.librarything.com) is a way for any individual to catalog their books.  You just add your book, tag it with whatever keywords come to mind, and add any ratings or reviews.  You are automatically connected with every other LibraryThing user who has that book and can see other reviews, other books they are reading, etc.

For more information see LibraryThing for Libraries.

We will post an update once access as been restored.

Thank you.

Dr. Gregory L. Fenves Appointed Dean of Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin

AUSTIN, Texas–Dr. Gregory L. Fenves, international expert in structural engineering and former chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, has been appointed dean of the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin.

Fenves’ appointment, which follows an international search, is effective Sept. 1. Fenves, 51, replaces Dr. Ben Streetman, who during his time as dean tripled the number of students receiving privately funded scholarships and fellowships, and added 18 privately funded faculty chairs to supplement state-funded faculty salaries. Streetman will take a one-year sabbatical, after having served 12 years as the Cockrell School dean.
