To help scholars during the federal government shutdown, Oxford University Press has offered readers free access to hundreds of titles in the Oxford Reference Library.
Above, we’ve embedded a video tutorial about the reference tool. Check it out:
For a two week period, the entire Oxford Reference site will be freely accessible as millions of scholars, students, and researchers are cut off from crucial tools during the U.S. Government shutdown. NEW USERS: Start exploring over 125 titles in Oxford Quick Reference as well as nearly 200 titles in Oxford Reference Library by entering the following information into the lefthand “Subscriber Login” box on the homepage: Username: tryoxfordreference Password: govshutdown
In addition, the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine can help you access captured copies of the Library of Congress, the National Endowment for the Arts or NASA–all sites closed by the shutdown.
