[Eril-l] New Oxford English Dictionary site now live ~4890383

Thu Jul 20 16:07:32 PDT 2023

Hi All

If you haven't already, please file a case with Oxford letting them know if
you are not able to access the site when off campus and using various
authentication methods such as EZProxy.  I did this yesterday and received
a reply that their support team is working on a solution.

You may be able to access the new platform off campus the first time you
try but if you try again and again, you may find that you hit a paywall and
aren't able to access all features.
