Hoboken, NJ (PRWEB) April 21, 2005 -- Global publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc., today announced the launch of the Analytical Sciences Backfile Collection, the latest addition to its growing collection of digitized journal libraries, and the second to be launched in this year.

The Analytical Sciences Backfile Collection joins several digitized collections already available on Wiley InterScience including Cell & Developmental Biology, Chemistry, Materials Science, Neuroscience, Polymer Science, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, and Biophysics, and Angewandte Chemie International Edition – bringing the total amount of digitized legacy content to over 3 million pages.
