Hi Tom,
Yes, and indeed at one point we appeared to be accessing from the University of Tartu! They did sort it out but it was all very strange...

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Institutional account problems on the new OUP platform
Hi All,
I've found quite a few snags with the new OUP platform, but the one causing me the most concern at the moment is the temperamental way it's recognising my institution. I sent them loads of screenshots last Monday (I've not heard anything back yet, but I appreciate they must be very busy!), so I won't bore you all with the details, but though it recognises from my IP address that I am from Aberystwyth University, but the institution name in the top right hand corner changes, confusingly, pretty much every time I sign in or out, or even just navigate to a different page - the institution displays as one or more of the following:
* Aberystwyth University
* University of wales aberystwyth
* University of Aberystwyth
* University College of Wales
* Periodicals Dept Library
* University of Wales, Aberystwyth
And there doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
I'm also hamstrung by the fact that our administrator account seems to have stopped working; when I try and reset the password, it seems to work successfully, but then when I try and log in using I get an error message telling me to check and try again.
This is probably my fault; I went through the pre-migration checklist a few times, but I probably missed something. And I'm sure at some point someone from OUP will get back to me and clear it up. But I'm just really curious to know if anybody else has had a similar problem?
Many thanks,
Tom
