 The proposed changes to the Oxford Academic platform previously reported have been delayed until the 19th July.

  Oxford University Press’s (OUP) major research book collections will move to the  Oxford Academic  platform . This means that that books from our  Oxford collections  will be available alongside journals in a single place for the first time. It is expected that content will move 14th July. Once this content has moved to  Oxford Academic , the current product sites will still be accessible for a period of dual running. During this time, we encourage you to explore and familiarize yourself with Oxford Academic before redirects go into place on July 20th. After this date, the content will no longer be available on the current product sites. There may be some disruption during the implementation, 14th to 20th July, please contact the library service if you encounter any problems.
