#:::{{u|Astinson (WMF)}} Has it occurred to you that a rival was responsible for that content in the wiki article? It doesn't seem neutral to me not to mention the error claim being 11 years out of date. It would be like comparing wikipedia in 2001 to today! It seems poor judgement to dismiss a resource with 145 million pages outright like that just because one or two people said something negative about it. I've done some searches on it and it often picks up sources which would likely be of great benefit to wikipedia. The F score if you look is mostly based on complaints NOT related to the resource itself. 89 complaints on Billing / Collection Issues was the largest one. Out of the 200,000 odd stated users of the resource there's just 140 complaints in 3 years. Do you think that's a fair judgement to make that it's not in the best interest of wikipedia readers? [http://newspaperarchive.com/historical-events/ Look at the bottom of the page here] for the esteemed institutions which they claim regularly use it.

==Veterinary sources==
I don't have immediate access to university journal searching resources, so I'm not even sure where to start and what to recommend with this request. It just seems to me that the amount of veterinary material (peer-reviewed) available through JSTOR, and various other searches I have access to is quite low. Most of our articles on livestock and pet breeds of domestic animals are based largely on tertiary sources ("breed encyclopedias" and fancier magazines) most of which are not actually reliable sources for anything about veterinary medicine, being neither comprehensive nor current with regard to such science.  Even just trying to adequately source and cover the pertinent details in [[Manx cat]] (with regard to what causes the taillessness of this breed, how it relates to taillessness in other breeds and other species, and what medical conditions are associated with it, in actual fact, not just in breeder supposition) has proven quite difficult.  In looking over livestock articles (cattle, goats, etc.) I see a general lack of any breed-specific veterinary information.  (On the up side, a few of the dog articles are better in this regard, as the medical conditions some popular breeds are unusually susceptible to has been the subject a lot more coverage in secondary source material.)  There's also a wealth of genetic-study material that has come out in the last decade, but finding any of it is quite challenging. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 01:43, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
:{{ping|SMcCandlish}} From the collections that we have right now, I would recommend [[WP:RSUK]], [[WP:Elsevier ScienceDirect]], [[WP:AAAS]], [[WP:De Gruyter]] and [[WP:TANDF]]. JSTOR and MUSE are primarily humanities and social sciences. Some of the medical sources we have will have some veterinary material as well (though not much I am imagining). I would also, suggest using some libguides from various other research libraries. Both [http://libguides.wsulibs.wsu.edu/content.php?pid=87471&sid=695075 West Virginia]'s and [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/queries/veterinarymed.html the NIH]'s are promising starting points, thought much of what they are pointing to search tools and indexes. These are very useful starting points, and with our [[WP:RX|Resource Exchange]], you should be able to get access to most things with the help of people who have research access. In particular, [http://www.ivis.org/home.asp this source] seems promising, and has the ability to sign up for free if you participate professionally in (which you do as a public knowledge contributor, though they don't have a field for that (I would select librarian, since Wikipedia is the public knowledge library)). We are going to [[ALA]]'s annual conference this week, and I will keep an eye out for explicitly veterinary publishing. Let us know if you consistently run into a particular paywalled database over and over again (alot of people in the Sciences run into Elsevier's ScienceDirect, so we hope to get more copies of that).

Brill Online, which is [[Brill Publishers]]' online resource, has a pretty good variety of sources. One particular source they carry in their Reference Works collection is the ''Recueil des Cours'', or the collected courses of the [[Hague Academy of International Law]]. These include ''highly'' cited textbook-length documents generally covering public and private international law, as well as a lot of very good specific lectures on international law topics. They also carry a lot of journals and other books on a broader series of topics than international law.

== [http://www.miramarshipindex.org.nz/ The Miramar Ship Index]==
As we have more than 36.000 ships by name now in Wikimedia Commons, it is time to investigate extra on the old ships. That takes a lot of energy, as there are only few public databases where the information can be found. The Miramar Ship Index has more than 260.000 single ships listed  and the number of searchable index entries is more the 600.000. Is it possible to obtain a [[Floating licensing|concurrent use license]] for users working on the proces of naming the ships in Wikimedia Commons. 

I myself am working on the Dutch Wikipedia, but my main activity is categorising in Commons. [[User:Stunteltje|Stunteltje]] ([[User talk:Stunteltje|talk]]) 10:03, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
:Hi {{ping|Stunteltje}} Do you have a sense of how many users would be able to use this? If there are a lot of users working on this, I think we should be able to get a partnership. We generally don't do narrow interest source outreach, unless its part of a larger more versatile collection. I see its been used about 1000 times on English Wikipedia, so it seems quite important as a citation, but I only see about [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?target=*.miramarshipindex.org.nz%2F&title=Special%3ALinkSearch 12 links on Wikimedia commons] (the main value for our partners, is visibility of their source, so we need to be able to articulate how often it will get used, even if its not a high visibility/readership usage).
:That being said: since you know the source so well, we would be very happy with you adapting our [[Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Processes/Pitching_partners|pitch process]] and approaching them yourself, in part because you know how the source will be used, you can discuss more directly, the scale of impact. Once the conversation starts (you can cc me at {{email|astinson|wikimedia.org}}), we can facilitate distribution of the access and/or advise on other parts of the negotiation. [[User:Astinson (WMF)|Astinson (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Astinson (WMF)|talk]]) 15:27, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
::I don't have any idea about the number of users that would use the license. The use was free, untill a couple of years ago. You didn't find much references in Wikimedia Commons, as I used the information of The Miramar Ship Index very, very much, but didn't make any note in the categories when a ship was found. Did not realise it was of importance at all. As I didn't make a category for the Official Numbers. Very important for ships before the IMO number registration. Now we have to categorise the older ships in Wikimedia Commons, the Official Number is more important and can be found in this Index. Also the other way around: if a user has found an Official Number, the right ship by year of completion can be found. So I think a lot of users will use the licence, when they realise the benefit of it. Being just a simple user without any competence to find out, I don't know how many serious categorisers for ships there are in Commons. 
::I will try to start the negotiation. A long time ago I already mentioned the possibility of negotiations to mr.

:Hi {{ping|Skr15081997}}. That is an interesting idea. It looks like they are a membership library based in India and focused on providing an aggregation of resources from different publisher databases for people in particular geographies.

My kingdom for BRD. I use this database every day for WP and I'm losing it as I leave my current institution. BRD is the longest running index of book reviews. There are two databases: BRD '''Retrospective''' covers 1903–1982, and BRD '''Plus''' covers 1983–present. The latter (1983–present) is a higher priority, as it'd be most relevant for WP editors, but I'm losing my print access to the equivalent of the Retrospective too, and I use that weekly.

One source in particular, behind SagePub.com's paywall is ''Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery''. Apparently access is free to institutions that have OpenAthens.

Some of this material is available via the unfortunately named ResearchGate (sounds like a scandal), but they will not give anyone an account without a .edu e-mail address. (There's some back-channel way to get one, but even then they still seem to want you to be a "published" "researcher". I have a mainstream book, but doubt I'll qualify because I don't work in a lab.

:{{ping|SMcCandlish}} I am pretty sure [[OpenAthens]] is an authentication protocol for accessing services that your subscribing libraries have access to. We can't join the access, I don't think, because we aren't a subscribing library: the organizations that subscribe as coalitions frequently buy in groups, and the licensing is contingent upon a purchasing framework. We are in a much better position to negotiate with the publishers directly, and we are in the process of building a tool that can give us the kind of authentication protocols we need to simplify access through a donation from OCLC. Similarly ResearchGate is kindof questionable in its aggregation practices: there isn't much value beyond what we hope to get by extending our SAGE stats donation [[WP:SAGE]].

There are at least 28K academic/scholarly journals, and 47K academic/scholarly periodicals including those that aren't technically journals, and that's still excluding various publications that aren't technically periodicals. So, it is certainly better for us to seek access to gateways to lots of them rather than seek access to specific ones, in all three of the senses of 11 how much access to scholarship we get, 2) how easy it is to get it (search a huge aggregator vs. search at hundreds or thousands of publishers' own sites), and 3) how much effort is spent getting it.  From a researcher perspective, it doesn't matter to me what protocols put the PDF in my hands; I'm perfectly happy to log into a cooperating university's uni. library site and using their R'Gate or OpenAthens access, as a "virtual visiting scholar" or something, rather than having some kind direct WMF access through the RG or OA access protocols. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 05:25, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
:In the interim, I've found it more expedient to just buy a .edu e-mail address from Fiverr.com (various .edu sysadmins will create accounts for people for US$5–$15).  Given that this is pretty public activity, they've been at it for a long time, and most people like being employed, my assumption is that they have permission to do this. Maybe because their institution (perhaps in the wake of the [[Aaron Swartz]] JSTOR suicide debacle) considers it part of their educational mission to assist the public in gaining access to educational resources, and it effectively cost them nothing (the sysadmins will still be on the payroll, watching things compile and eating Doritos at their terminal, if they're not creating accounts for people).

Ulrich's is a database for periodicals. It's most important as a metareference—e.g., if I want to see what databases cover a periodical I'm after, I can check the publication's listing in Ulrich's.

==Bloomsbury's ''Drama Online'' and ''Bloomsbury Collections''==
[[Bloomsbury Publishing]] has various online services, usually offered to libraries and academic institutions, related to their publications (see [http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/academic/for-librarians/ Bloomsbury - Librarians & Researchers]). Of these, the ones most obviously relevant to the project is ''[http://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/ Drama Online]'' and ''[http://www.bloomsburycollections.com/ Bloomsbury Collections]''. These contain a wide variety of "books, journals, major reference works and online libraries" relevant to humanities and social science. Personally (and on behalf of [[WP:BARD|WikiProject Shakespeare]]) I would be most interested in the [[Arden Shakespeare]] imprint (who are, along the [[Oxford Shakespeare]], ''the'' critical editions of record for [[William Shakespeare|Shakespeare's]] plays, as well as a ton of related and supporting scholarly literature)—both the current "Series Three" editions, as well as the older editions—and their ''[http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/series/great-shakespeareans/ Great Shakespeareans]'' series of reference works on [[Edmond Malone|biographers]], [[Samuel Johnson|critics]], [[Laurence Olivier|actors]], [[David Garrick|actor-managers]], and [[Franco Zeffirelli|directors]]. Through [[Oxford Journals]], [[Cambridge Journals]], [[JSTOR]], and [[Project MUSE]], the coverage of journals and articles that we have access to in this area is pretty good, but for books and reference works it's pretty slim pickings (I have literally just yesterday finished building a shelving unit to store my personal library of paper books on this topic, and neither my square footage nor my purse can support any further expansion of this library. Online access to these works would be a great boon!).

I know Bloomsbury has been focused on building up their academic publishing over the last few years, so I would imagine they'd be at least somewhat interested in an arrangement that would get their works cited more; and the fact that they even have a point of contact ([mailto:academic@bloomsbury.com academic@bloomsbury.com]) and terms for "Librarians & Researchers" makes me hopeful that they may be amenable to the idea of participating in The Wikipedia Library. --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

===Who's Who and Who was Who===
[http://www.ukwhoswho.com Who's Who and Who was Who] are among the most authoritative British biographical databases which have been continuously maintained and updated for more than a century. They have a large coverage of personalities from different professions in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Commonwealth since the 19th century. They also provide very rich and complete raw biographical data which can hardly be retrieved handily from other sources. Although Who's Who and Who was Who are published by the Oxford University Press (OUP), the OUP collection in the Wikipedia Library, sadly, does not include them at the moment. I understand that UK nationals have free access to the online version of Who's Who and Who was Who from their local libraries in the UK. However, people out of the UK, such as those in Hong Kong, may only gain free access to the online version from tertiary institutions or the printed and possibly outdated version from limited public libraries. It would be a great news for Wikipedians specialising in biographies of historical and contemporary people from the UK and other Commonwealth countries, if Who's Who and Who was Who are added to the Wikipedia Library. The subscription would, undoubtedly, greatly facilitate their painstaking research work and effectively strengthen the quality and credibility of biographical entries in Wikipedia. --[[User:Clithering|Clithering]] ([[User talk:Clithering|talk]]) 17:32, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
