Saving Links from OneSearch
Many (though not all!) of your saved links will still work after the transition to OpenAthens. However we encourage users to update their links for more reliable access. There are several ways you can do this. First, you can replace old links with links from the library's catalog using the following steps:
- After locating the item in OneSearch, click on the 3 dots in the right corner of the search result.
- Next click on the button labeled permalink.
- Finally, click "Copy the Permalink to Clipboard" and then paste that wherever you are keeping your links.
It will require 1 extra click for you and others to access the full text, however this permalink from the catalog will always be the most reliable.
Saving Links from the Full Text
It is also possible in some cases to link directly to full text.
While every database or resource is different many will include a "friendly" URL or permalink button that will allow you to copy a URL that can be shared with other users.
These permalinks will sometimes include the link in your browser search bar however please note that this link is not always shareable and may not work for other users. Be sure to test these links in another browser or incognito window before saving or sharing.
Open Athens Link Generator
Another way to create a persistent link that is compatible with OpenAthens is by using the OpenAthens Link Generator Tool.
(Please note that this tool will not work for ProQuest, EBSCO, Gale, or Kanopy links.)
To use the OpenAthens link Generator:
- Go to https://go.openathens.net/generate/tcsedsystem.edu/72355083
- Paste a permalink or stable URL for the resource you would like to link to in the box and press enter.
- Copy the generated URL.
- Use the copied URL to link to the source.
Multiple URLs can be created at one time.
Be sure to test your new links before saving/sharing!
