In many cases you might not notice any difference. However a different link syntax will be used for Library online resources, and you may need to sign in on campus occasionally. There are some specific scenarios where you might find a broken link.

The A-Z list of research databases and tools, Library Search and Resource List links will be updated by the Library team and you might not notice much of a difference.

You might also be asked to sign in when on campus. This is to consolidate usage reporting, not just those accessed off-campus or via the wi-fi network.

Open Athens will remember you are authenticated so you will not be asked to sign in for each access request.

OpenAthens uses cookies to remember your device for several hours. You will only be asked to sign in again if you:

• change web browser, for example from Edge to Chrome
• change devices, for example from a laptop to a mobile
• clear your browser cookies

Links that will stop working

Links in documents, web content or bookmarks that contain "ezproxy.bond.edu.au" in the URL will need to be updated after Open Athens is launched and before the ezproxy service is decommissioned. We are planning for some overlap.

Ezproxy links in current and upcoming iLearn subject sites will be updated by the Library Team.

Reference management software

Settings in your citation manager will need to be updated. See the link below for details.

Direct sign in with OpenAthens

On some sites you can sign in via OpenAthens using your University account, without needing to visit the Library site first.

Look for the Institutional Login, Library Login or OpenAthens login options. It may be located in different places across the various platforms.
