Suggestions for Library Administrators:
a) Please verify that you have submitted your library’s signed subscriber agreement to Oxford University Press (OUP). All new subscriptions require a signed license agreement on file that has been verified prior to activating service.

c) If your library’s IP information has changed, please contact us to report the new address(es) or to update IP information currently registered.
d) Your library’s access may have expired or been placed on hold if OUP has not received your subscription payment or if your free trial has expired.
