The DOE team is pleased to announce the publication of our La–Le fascicle, containing 750 new entries. Users at subscribed institutions may access the Dictionary at its new URL: https://dictionary.doe.utoronto.ca. (Users with individual subscriptions will receive an email from us soon regarding our continuing efforts to restore their access to the Dictionary.)
On-campus users at subscribed institutions who enter our old URL should be redirected to the new site automatically. However, because of the URL change, some off-campus users may not be able to access the new site until their institutions’ library catalogues and/or proxy configurations have been updated. We will be sending out messages shortly to the contact people on file for institutional subscribers requesting that any necessary updates be made as soon as possible. If you are at a subscribed institution and are still having difficulty accessing the Dictionary, feel free to contact us with a description of the problem, but please note that, depending on how much troubleshooting we need to do, it may take us some time to respond to all inquiries.
We are now making final preparations to publish a new version of the DOE Corpus, which we hope to make available to our subscribers within the next few weeks. Users wishing to consult the Corpus in the meantime may be able to access the text files from a previous edition of the Corpus hosted by the Oxford Text Archive; while this version of the Corpus does not contain a search engine, it may nevertheless be useful as a temporary tool. (Please note the conditions for use in the file corpus.htm.)
As noted in our last update, once the Dictionary and Corpus are both back online, we plan to compensate our subscribers for the recent outage by extending current subscription periods by the length of each application’s downtime.
