... but you will need to apply for access the way it was before the proxy-based access was introduced.

== User:TheDiaboloBoy ==
Hey all. I don't want to overreact or make assumptions here, but I also don't want to underreact. User {{Np|TheDiaboloBoy}} has made a lot of requests here since 2023, and their account shows no mainspace contributions, which leads me to believe the resources they're requesting are not for the purpose of contributing to Wikipedia. I've [[User talk:TheDiaboloBoy#Requesting resources|brought this up]] on their talk page, but I want to leave a note for volunteers as well. (I've also linked to that talk page discussion on their open requests.)
Per the notes at the top of the request page, {{Tq|Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.}} Personally, I will no longer be sharing copyrighted content with them, as the fair use exception doesn't seem to work if they're not contributing here, and I don't want to take on that legal risk. I suppose it's up to other volunteers whether you want to continue sharing resources with them.

== [[Liverpool University Press]] free journal issues online ==
Not sure if this is the best venue for this, but a heads-up: each year [[Liverpool University Press]] offers one free issue of each of its journals to read online. Approximately 40 journals are included across all subject areas, including some which have not traditionally had much academic treatment (the email I received today notes that an edition of ''Extrapolation'' is included, which is apparently "the first journal to publish academic work on science fiction and fantasy"). A new set of journals have been made available today: I'm not sure how long they stay up for, but probably not more than a year. I also don't know whether access is restricted to UK-based people or not. PDFs can be accessed/downloaded. See [https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pages/free-issues https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pages/free-issues]. I'm not affiliated with LUP (I'm just on their mailing list) but I'm happy to assist with questions or with downloading things. <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">[[User:Hassocks5489|<b style="color: #00BFFF;">Hassocks</b>]][[User talk:Hassocks5489|<span style="color: #228B22;">5489</span><span style="color: #C71585;"><small> (Floreat Hova!)</small></span>]]</span> 15:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
:I am not UK based and I can access it, thanks for the cool resource!
