Library services will remain available, but we do recommend holding on to any library items you need to return until after Thanksgiving break. Eagle Library Search and A-Z Databases will remain available. Please call one of our libraries if you have any questions.

Open Athens

Link Details

EBSCO provides links as shown below that include customer ID information (s9009160) that will direct the user to OpenAthens automatically. You will not need the OpenAthens prefix for new EBSCO links, but older links that do not include the customer ID information can use the OA prefix appended to them to reach OpenAthens.

To convert your old EBSCO links to work with OpenAthens, you would just run your older links through the OpenAthens Link Generator to apply the prefix and remove the older information that directed them to our previous login method.

For new EBSCO links, just follow the steps below to find and create a link to a resource. This link is now ready to use wherever you need it
