[Eril-l] New Oxford English Dictionary site now live

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Agreed on the subscription notice on the main page, definitely will be confusing for some users. We should also be able to customize the banner and add in a message stating that access is provided by the library.

I also noticed that when we follow our EZProxy referral URL to the database, sometimes the URL remains proxied and we have access, and sometimes the URL drops the proxy and we don't have access.

We also had this problem when resources migrated over to the OUP Academic website. Still no resolution on that on our end.

Hello,
We appear to have full access, BUT I find it really confusing that at the very center of the landing page is the following:

Because I know that we have a subscription, I just went ahead and tried out a word etc and proceeded, but I think this will throw most users.
Are others also seeing this right splat in the middle of the Webpage?
OUP: Can this be made NOT to show when one already has an active/current subscription?
Thanks for considering.

Thanks OUP.

Cornell University Library has partial access to the new platform.  Right now, the word search works fine, but clicking on the other tabs (meaning, etymology, pronunciation, etc) points to a login screen.  Can I assume the lack of access is part of the 48-hour transition?
