Generate OpenAthens Link for Access

The PCOM Library uses Open Athens to allows users to access licensed resources through a single sign-on prompt. Users accessing a resource will see the PCOM Network Login challenge. For the authentication to work, the URLs for our resources need to have a line of text preceding it called a proxy. 

It often looks like this: https://go.openathens.net/redirector/pcom.edu?uri=.

If you have a URL for a book, chapter, or journal article you need to be proxied for Open Athens, by dropping it below in the “Enter Unproxied URL” prompt.
