[Eril-l] Wiley Online Library website/downloading issues?

Tue Jun 23 11:07:35 PDT 2026

Glad to hear it is working. I also deem this a temporary fix.

We heard back from Wiley, and they provided the following information:

“This is already in our system and being reviewed by Atypon, as it had been picked up via listservs and other direct customer reports. My understanding is that it may be related to a past issue that had been resolved and folks are checking now if something in a recent release impacted infrastructure and proxy handling to undo that previous resolution.”

Of note, I believe T&F uses the same Atypon system, and that continues to work for us.

Cheers, Paul

Well, it didn't seem to like the Find & Replace directives with the IncludeFile, so I tried adding the entire stanza to the config, plus the directives, and that worked. I see that it is bypassing the EPDF reader entirely, but I guess that's OK for now.

Thanks, Paul. That workaround does not seem to be working for us here. The epdf reader is still not loading for remote users.

FWIW, I have not heard back from Wiley since Thursday about this issue.

OCLC support suggested we add the following find/replace workaround alongside our Wiley<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fhelp.oclc.org%2fLibrary_Management%2fEZproxy%2fEZproxy_database_stanzas%2fDatabase_stanzas_W%2fWiley_Online_Library&c=E,1,qMrI8lBxY-9j_BQWfsqpSgTnSTZRDelDMmb5xukoJnTOp49XC5Z0OKAor_gDYyUvPVYpWkjsUUDS9qzufubJ1QCTmV8ZDEvIXk5mZUBZ-sOWVQ,,&typo=1> IncludeFile directive, which seems to have resolved the access issue for users. No word on whether OCLC and Wiley are working on a long-term solution.

IncludeFile databases/wileyonlinelibrary.txt

Find /doi/pdf/

Hi everyone,

We were closed for Juneteenth, so I didn't have a chance to follow up on this. It's apparent this afternoon that our remote access to Wiley still has this issue. Have any of you heard anything new?

Thanks,

Kyle

Thank you Genesis and Paul!  On further testing we discovered we ARE having the same problem here (off campus only, as expected with an EZ-Proxy problem).   We would not even have realized there was a problem had it not been reported to the listserv.

Thanks and best, Theresa

Thank you, Paul. I have an open ticket with Wiley, so I'll give them some more context and see if they'll contact OCLC or have already done so to find out what's going on. I'll also let them know that this is not an isolated issue.

OCLC support (case #998529) confirmed they are aware of the issue and that they need to work with Wiley support to resolve it, as nothing can be done on OCLC’s end.

I attempted to move the Wiley stanza to the top of the config file, to no avail.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for testing.

Paul, please update when you hear back from OCLC. I'm remote today, so the trouble seems to be with off-campus access, at least for us.

Erin, I tested that article. The EPDF reader won't load that title, either. This is the article that prompted my investigation:

Binks S. (2026). Why desirable difficulties 'work': A review of the evidence from cognitive and educational psychology and some caveats for the health professions education field. Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 32(1), e70349. https://doi.org/10.1111/jep.70349<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fdoi.org%2f10.1111%2fjep.70349&c=E,1,xgwlSMgaRD0DeH0g0o3xUNu2zD4TJ8Um51JlGt2z9CZfKcaZC0tulnyGlOZg2gVlj6oZ3SMT7DJuD3eW6iUigAXmcCSzZZtTBwDIxxDNUGA,&typo=1>

Hi all,

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Wiley Online Library this morning? Specifically, content is not loading on Wiley's website, and the EPDF reader is continually attempting to load.

Thanks,
