@SerialNumber54129 Click on the logo for one of the resources. It takes you to a page with a blue button that says "access collection". Click on it and it takes you to the service you want. In my case, I just right now accessed the New Grove/Oxford Music Online and searched for "Georgy Sviridov", "Hans Knappertsbusch", "hocket", "theorbo", and "Humphrey Searle". All the corresponding articles were fully accessible to me.

That resource is open access that you do not need a login for (https://academic.oup.com/edited-volume/28133/chapter/212357184)

@ARandomName123 Ah! I jumped the gun then. :) Thanks so much for clearing that up.

Thank you to all concerned for the good work. I have a couple of questions, if you please. Upon having my application approved, I signed into my account, but was met with a prompt urging me to upgrade whenever I tried to view an article. Do I have to open a brand new account or is it possible to continue using my old one? If the latter, why am I getting this prompt?

Here's exactly what I did to get it to work for me (on Firefox – if you use Chrome or any other browser, someone else will have to provide those instructions):

  1. Go directly to newspapers.com, not the proxy
  2. Log into your account
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the developer console
  4. In the window that opens up on the bottom half of your screen, click on the "Storage" tab along the top of the window
  5. On the left side, there are different options. Click on "Cookies"
  6. Under "Cookies", click on "https://www.newspapers.com"
  7. There will be a whole bunch of lines of data. We only need the bottom two, that start with "user_data" and "user_token"
  8. Copy the long strings of seemingly random letters and numbers that appear under "Value" for both "user_data" and "user_token" and keep them in a notepad or whatever.
  9. Also copy the date that appears under "Expires / Max-Age" on the "user_token" row. The "user_data" row will say "Session" instead of a date, but as far as I can tell it's safe to ignore that.
  10. Go back to the proxy version of newspapers.com
  11. Press Ctrl+Shift+I to open the console again
  12. Follow steps 4-6 again in this new console window
  13. In the top right corner of the console window, there will be a plus sign button. Click that to add a new row
  14. Double-click on the stuff that appears under "Name" in the new row and type in "user_data" instead
  15. Do the same to replace the "Value" of the new row with the string you copied out of the other user_data row
  16. Do the same to replace the "Expires / Max Age" date with the one you copied out of "user_token"
  17. Create another new row and name it "user_token"
  18. For the "Value", paste in the value from the other "user_token" row
  19. Paste in the expiration date into the "Expires / Max Age" column for this row, too
  20. Close the console and refresh the page

These steps were enough for me to get it working properly, I didn't need to mess with anything else.

I think I'm heartened by this development. Newspapers.com is an essential resource whenever I expand or create articles. However, I admit to being practically illiterate in computer matters. Would somebody please kindly explain this workaround to me in beginner terms? Thank you all.
