OpenAthens Link Generator
To share a link to a result or a set of results from a Library subscription database, you need a link that authenticates the user. This tool creates the appropriate link using "OpenAthens," our authentication system. For more info, click on "more" below.
How to Create an Authenticated (Shareable) Link:
1. Enter California in the search box. That should be enough to see "California University of Pennsylvania" appear. Select it.
2. Paste in the URL that you wish to target (direct people to).
3. The Link Generator will provide the proper URL for you to share.
Note: EBSCO databases offer what is called a "Permalink." This link is already authenticated and does not need to be run through this tool.
