Linking guide

Use this guide to create stable authenticated links to the Library's online resources. If instructions for linking to a resource are not here, please contact the Library for assistance.

OpenAthens

Most of the Library's online resources authenticate via the OpenAthens Redirector. Note that the Redirector is not compatible with the Other Library databases listed below, but the OpenAthens link generator works with the majority of ebooks, articles journals and streaming videos the Library subscribes to.

  • ProQuest Ebook Central:
    • By default ProQuest Ebook Central presents ebooks in EPUB format, which shifts content based on screen size and resolution. This can disrupt deep-linking.
    • When adding chapter sections via QUT Readings, include a note directing students to use subheadings for navigation instead of page ranges. Page range details from the print/PDF version can still be listed in the item record.
    • Example note: "Please read section: Where does theory come from? (The webpage via the link changes depending on your devices or screen sizes and is different from the Print/PDF version of the book.)"
