Cambridge University Press platform is experiencing technical difficulties.  We have a number of journals and reference books published by them.  Please note that access could be (is) spotty right now. Here’s what they had to say about it:

Dear All,

We would like to offer our sincere apologies for the ongoing technical issues that are currently affecting CJO, CBO and other online systems, which have been subject to intermittent outages and instability this week.

Our investigations have revealed that the problems lie with the deployment of hardware and with industry standard proprietary database software.

We would like to assure all of our customers and publishing partners that every available resource within our Infrastructure, Platform Technologies and Development teams has been committed to the resolution of these issues and the restoration of normal service.  Progress towards this goal is being monitored on a daily basis at the highest levels within the Press and we will provide another status update as soon as possible.

Thank you

CJO stands for Cambridge Jounals Online and CBO is for books. I saw another message that said, “A large team is working hard with database vendor support to resolve this problem.”  I’m glad they’ve got the large team handling it. Anyway, if you don’t get access and you see universitypublishing in the address bar, this is why.
