Oxford Reference recently launched a completely redesigned site on September 19. This new site, unlike the old one, lists resources that subscribers can access as well as those that are “locked” and cannot be accessed through our paid subscription. These are designated with a lock icon and the following “subscribe” message:
“Oxford Reference requires a subscription or purchase to access the full text of titles within the service. Public users can however freely search the site and view restricted versions of this content, plus any full text content that is freely available.
Please, subscribe or login to access full text content.”
- Users have the choice to see just the full content provided to your library: activate the ‘Show Full Content Available: Provided by Library’ check box above the Account Name area [in search results on left side].
