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.
DOI linking
Create authenticated links to library resources using a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
