Authenticated Link Generator: update and create links

Create links to RMIT University Library online resources for seamless access on and off campus.

Convert existing link

Use the Link Generator to convert the outdated ‘ezproxy.lib.rmit.edu.au’ links.

Create new authenticated link

To create new authenticated links to Library resources, use this dedicated: OpenAthens Link Generator.

We still recommend copying the already-authenticated links from LibrarySearch and to only use this link generator if it wasn't possible.

First time users, please note

  • Always test your new link. The Link Generator does not check if the link is valid, or whether it will work with Open Athens.
  • There are some links with EZproxy which do not need to route via Open Athens. EZproxy is removed from these links.
  • We may need to update the Link Generator to accommodate changes to database URLs. Let us know if the output link does not work.

Resources excluded from the OpenAthens authentication

  • Google scholar  
  • EBSCOHost
  • ProQuest
  • Lexis Advance
  • LinkedIn Learning
  • Clickview
  • Kanopy

Acknowledgement

The link generator was developed at Swinburne University Library.
