Confusion? Oxford had to know the repercussions this denial of access for academic subscribers would cause. Or they are totally ignorant of (at least) the US university/college semester system. I agree with Ann Skiold comment about JSTOR. Its format has changed so much from its initial debut which had a really useful advance search & excellent displayed subject tags which controlled the relevance sort & told you volumes about what the article was really about. Increasingly I find the interfaces of databases to be less research friendly.
