[Eril-l] Anyone else having problems with Oxford journals icons?

Additionally, has anyone tried to search within a journal?

I am finding that it is NOT just a problem of icon display, but ALSO of
result-retrieval.
One minute we have access to an article or issue of a given journal, the
next the icon says not, then we do (after I have gone to another issue,
year, or volume), and then if I do a search only for articles to which we
have access within the journal (using the Availability limiter) for s
specific keyword, suddenly we have access to nothing: No results found.
...., even though previously at least one article with the same keyword was
displaying as being available to me.

I tried this with a few journals now.

So this is not just a matter of confusing people with icons that randomly
show one way and then another but of denying access to users as well.

Are others experiencing this as well?
