:{{re|MrLinkinPark333}} Are there resources you'd like which aren't currently covered under our [[Wikipedia:MIT|existing partnership]]? [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 09:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
::{{ping|Samwalton9 (WMF)}} Perhaps the ebooks would be interesting to look into. Also, the website URL that I provided for the journals is a different link than the one on MIT Press's wiki [http://www.mitpressjournals.org/ account signup], but both point to the same spot. --[[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]] ([[User talk:MrLinkinPark333|talk]]) 20:40, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
== MGG Online ==
[[Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart]] (MGG), the most comprehensive German music encyclopedia comparable to [[The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians]], is now available as an online edition https://mgg-online.com/, hosted by [[Bärenreiter]] and utilizing the platform of [[RILM]]. While previews of all articles are freely available on the web, full access to MGG Online requires a subscription according to the [https://mgg-online.com/help?which=faq FAQ]. Annual subscriptions are currently only available to institutions: libraries, research institutes, schools, and other organizations. Full subscription access to the database would be extremely valuable for all Wikipedia contributors working on (classical) music topics. --[[User:FordPrefect42|FordPrefect42]] ([[User talk:FordPrefect42|talk]]) 06:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
:{{re|FordPrefect42}} Looking into it! [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 12:20, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
:: ...and where are we now? --[[User:INM|INM]] ([[User talk:INM|talk]]) 06:22, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
:::{{re|INM}} No further unfortunately. I sent an email or two to contacts we were able to make at RILM, but have yet to hear back. [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 11:52, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
::::This all does not look like moving anywhere... --[[User:INM|INM]] ([[User talk:INM|talk]]) 18:44, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
:::::{{re|INM}} I was able to speak to RILM recently, and it sounds like we should be getting access to MGG! We're just confirming the details. [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 12:13, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
:::::: {{ping|Samwalton9 (WMF)}} any update on this? BTW: many thanks for your initiative so far! --[[User:FordPrefect42|FordPrefect42]] ([[User talk:FordPrefect42|talk]]) 20:47, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
:::::::{{re|FordPrefect42}} We had encouraging conversations with them, but our progress is stalled by some legal discussions right now. I hope to have more soon. [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 09:45, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

:{{re|FordPrefect42|INM}} This got seriously caught up in legal conversations for a while there, but I'm pleased to say that RILM - including access to MGG Online - is now available to apply for on the [https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/100/ Library Card platform] :) [[User:Samwalton9 (WMF)|Samwalton9 (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Samwalton9 (WMF)|talk]]) 10:02, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
:: {{re|Samwalton9 (WMF)}} Although this took a while, this is really great news now! Many thanks for the ping and most of all for your endurance on this topic. --[[User:FordPrefect42|FordPrefect42]] ([[User talk:FordPrefect42|talk]]) 11:17, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
