A Statement from Matt Leavy, EVP & GM, Academic & Professional Learning for Wiley
In June 2020, Wiley informed our library aggregator partner ProQuest that approximately 1,380 ebooks would transition out of its Academic Complete online digital library as part of a regular review of collections. In working with ProQuest, this change was delayed to August 2022 to provide time for customers to make any necessary adjustments. Nevertheless, many customers were caught off guard.
After reviewing the decision against the current environment and listening to our customers, we are returning these ebooks to the ProQuest Academic Complete collection so libraries that subscribe to the service can access them again.
We are working to restore access to the ebooks as soon as possible. The materials will remain in the collection through June 2023 to ensure access through the remainder of the academic year.
We sincerely apologize for any disruption this may have caused students, instructors and libraries. We are reviewing the process of updating collections to avoid similar situations in the future.
Wiley is committed to providing students with affordable e-books through initiatives such as our inclusive access and course materials affordability programs, and we continue to explore and develop affordable content models through a variety of partners.
