OpenAthens

How will OpenAthens affect me?  

  • There is no change if you are accessing resources via the Library homepage (e.g. Library SEARCH or A-Z Databases). 

  • You can now login directly to some online databases/journals via the publisher website with OpenAthens authentication.

  • If you save or share links in Moodle or other systems, you will need to update your links. You can update your links via our OpenAthens redirector link generator

  • If you use reference management software (EndNote, Zotero etc.), you will need to change the proxy URL.

Will I need to update my bookmarks? 

Possibly. If you save or share links from Library SEARCH or databases, you will need to update them using our redirector link generator.
