It would seem reasonable that Blackwell would provide this along with a
license.  I'm sure everyone knows that's not always the case though.
We'd had this same problem in the past with numerous publishers.  We now
simply tell them we won't renew anything without a complete title list
with up to date coverage information.

Blackwell got us a list last year, but it's not complete (there are a
few titles here and there that don't have start dates listed).  This was
a consortial deal though so I doubt it applies to all libraries.

There was a report that I ran in the Blackwell-Synergy Admin section
that gave us a list with coverage ranges for everything we have access
to.  Only problem is that it didn't separate out the title in the HSS
and STM packages.  I don't know if you can get that report now though.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] Blackwell Titles on Wiley - dates of access?

Has anyone purchasing the STM package ever been able to pin down what
dates
are included in your subscription?
I never could get a list supplied with these coverage dates, and I found
the "green dot" dates changing from time to time
so that our A-Z list isn't always correct.
Without such a list, it's difficult to know if particular years Wiley is
now blocking are part of our package or not.
Does anyone know how to obtain this?
Thanks,
