Please note that access to de Gruyter Brill seems to have been restored. So, please check before contacting our partner.

I still cannot access the two mentioned books, see screenshot.

I just would like to note that @Sandro_Halank_WMDE is right. We now definitely have no access to de Gruyter Brill.

Thanks all - I've attached this task to De Gruyter/Brill in TWL. We're meeting with them this week so we'll do our best to get this reinstated.

If you're meeting with them anyway, can you ask about restoring access to Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum (SEG)?

https://scholarlyeditions-brill-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/sego/

We used to have access to this via Brill, but since the reorganization of the Brill website after the merger with De Gruyter, it's no longer included in our subscription. This seems to be true for all of the content included under the heading Brill "Scholarly Editions". I can still search, but when I click on a specific entry (e.g., https://scholarlyeditions-brill-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/reader/urn:cts:greekDoc:seg.069-0001.sego:lem/ ), I get this message:

"Brill Scholarly Editions would like to grant you access, but you do not have the right credentials at the moment. If you would like to get access, please visit brill.com/sego. If you have any questions, please contact us at brillonline@brill.com, putting "Scholarly Editions" in the subject line."

Same for Eustathios of Thessaloniki's Commentary on the Iliad and Commentary on the Odyssey. We lost access at the same time when we started losing access to DeG.

All the most inconvenient if we consider that Brill has not (yet?) put the Indices to Comm. Il. out for sale in eBook, nor any volume of the new edition of the Comm. Od.

Any updates on this? Thanks

We've lost access to the Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon - Internationale Künstlerdatenbank - Online, which is a key resource for visual art. https://www-degruyterbrill-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/database/akl/html

De Gruyter Brill is working to resolve the problem, with the goal of restoring access as soon as possible.

Access appears to have been restored.

Yes, this should be working now.

Some collections still seem to be outside our access but most of what we had access to should be available now. Please check and let us know if you're still facing any issues.

AKL is back, and I've also had a quick look into some legal journals and books that also are available. Many thanks to everyone who helped restore access to this valuable resource!

Access to Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum has not been restored. I am still receiving this message:

"Brill Scholarly Editions would like to grant you access, but you do not have the right credentials at the moment. If you would like to get access, please visit brill.com/sego. If you have any questions, please contact us at brillonline@brill.com, putting "Scholarly Editions" in the subject line."

And the same is true for Eustathios 's Commentaries on the Iliad and the Odyssey, mentioned above by TheEternalWayfarer. These too are part of the "Scholarly Editions" collection, which is apparently no longer included in the subset of materials accessible to TWL users. If that is a permanent change, it will be a real loss. SEG in particular, which publishes revised texts and summaries of scholarship on ancient Greek inscriptions, is a crucial resource for articles about ancient Greek history, politics, religion, and society.

Eustathios' Scholarly Edition is crucial too. Brill has not yet published the eBook for van der Valk's edition of the Commentary on the Iliad, and the recent edition of the Commentary on the Odyssey is not at all available in eBook. The only other way to search the text would be the TLG, which is not available to TWL users, and does not include the critical apparatus.

Restoring Brill's Scholarly Editions would be crucial for those researching in Classics — and in the Humanities in general.

We've lost access to the The Columbia Anthology of Modern Chinese Drama (https://doi.org/10.7312%2Fchen14570) since September.

Can someone clarify if this is a bug on De Gruyter Brill's end, or TWL lost its license for it?

@sjvipin We still don't have access the collections by Harvard University Press, Stanford University Press or University of Toronto, have we permanently lost access to them as well?

@Xpander - We are working with De Gruyter Brill to get access to more collections. However, we do not yet have clarity on when it will be available.

It seems that access to the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae has also expired: when one searches for a word, the website returns:

Artists of the World is still not available which is a pity for up to date information on artists.
