Any news? And before the expiry, there are some database we can't use (Oxford Law Pro and Who's Who), may I request a purchase here?

We have contacted the Oxford University Press for help on this, but we haven't heard back yet.

Are we still waiting on someone at Oxford to check their inbox? Is there a Wikipedian in Residence we can set loose on them?

@Alexanderkowal Would you please consider that the Wikipedia Library depends on donations from our partners which sets us apart from their usual customers paying for access and service.

@Aschmidt Whereas you might consider, that these partners might not be motivated purely by the goodness of their hearts, but they get citations for their publications in thousands of Wikipedia articles. And, one might add, the authors of the publications of OUP are not really paid by OUP, mostly, but rather they are paid by the public.

Any news from OUP?

It seems to work for now, at least for me.

I've tried, and it appears we have access to Grove Music Online, but not other databases.

not for me

It doesn't work for me neither.

ODNB. Nope.

It's working for me either.

It's really annoying because there are some books on OUP that'd cost me over £100 each and I had access earlier this year that I really need to finish my article off, because sources are limited and the subject is not much written about due to academic superciliousness.

I have bought all the books I can from eBay for no more than £20, but I aint spending £100 each for any book,

Hello!

We are looking into this on priority. We have reached out to multiple contacts at OUP for their help on this. However, we do not have clarity on how soon OUP collections will be available again.

I will be sending them followup emails this week and next. Thanks!

Thank you!

By the way, is there a report portal for this kind of issues? It seems that we've also lost access to IEEE since a couple of days ago. Thanks!

@Lucho: Does Phabricator count as a portal?

A Phabricator ticket is definitely the best way for reporting this :) I've filed T422805.

@Aklapper @Samwalton9-WMF Many thanks!
