Congratulations Jake and the 'Wikipedia Library' team. This is a really cool project that just keeps growing. Thank you.
On a tangential note: A while ago there was some discussion (not within your project but it is still of relevance) about whether it would be possible (and also whether it would be desirable) to somehow automatically indicate within Wikipedia footnotes that the website the reader is about to go to is closed from public/free access. There is debate about how to 'signal OA-ness <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_OA-ness>', but nevertheless it might be nice to indicate to our readers that (for closed-access journals or databases for example) the link they're about to click will not actually show them the text being cited [unless they're on a university network etc.]. -Liam / Wittylama wittylama.com Peace, love & metadata On 28 July 2014 17:53, Jake Orlowitz <jorlow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > The Wikipedia Library has new free signups available: > > *American newspaper database Newspapers.com > <http://enwp.org/WP:Newspapers.com> > > *British genealogical database FindMyPast.com > <http://enwp.org/WP:FindMyPast> > > *Religion and women writers collections at Past Masters > <http://enwp.org/WP:Past_Masters> > > *Several large archival collections from Adam Matthew > <http://enwp.org/WP:Adam_Matthew> > > Medical editors can sign up for BMJ and Cochrane. > <http://enwp.org/WP:BMJ> > <http://enwp.org/WP:COCHRANE> > > Accounts are still available for JSTOR, British Newspaper Archives, > Questia, and HighBeam.
