The OpenAthens Redirector Link Generator allows you to create links that will take NOAA staff to e-resources in full-text. Links produced through the tool will include openathens in the URL with a prefix such as https://go.openathens.net/redirector/noaa.gov?url=.
For example, the an OpenAthens enabled link to to Wiley Online database looks like https://go.openathens.net/redirector/noaa.gov?url=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinelibrary.wiley.com
Please note some exceptions to using this tool include creating links to resources include EBSCO, ProQuest, and Ebook Central.

Some resources that are OpenAthens enabled do not user or require the OpenAthens proxy prefix when creating links. Instead, they rely on a unique identifier that is associated with the NOAA Library institution in OpenAthens.
