Use the OpenAthens Link Generator to create authenticated links for library resources.
Note: Use non-proxied URLs or DOIs to generate authenticated links. This applies to all content providers except EBSCO, ProQuest, and Gale. For those providers, refer to the section "Non-Standard Authenticated Links" for specific instructions.
Library Search
Library Search links are now configured to authenticate via OpenAthens. Please use those links first, and only use the OpenAthens Link Generator if they're unavailable or not working.
All URLs containing "libdb.njit.edu" are now obsolete and will no longer function. If you have any such links in your documents, course materials, or bookmarks, you need to use the OpenAthens Link Generator to convert and update them.
Some service providers—such as EBSCO, ProQuest, and Gale—use proprietary parameters rather than standard ones, requiring custom syntaxes for linking. The highlighted proprietary parameters below are specific to NJIT's access configuration.

Avoid copying and pasting URLs from your browser's address bar, as these links are often unstable and may not work for students. Instead, use a permalink, stable URL provided by the resource platform, or an OpenAthens link to ensure reliable access.
If you encounter broken links, please use the OpenAthens Link Generator to create new ones. For help or questions, contact us at 973-596-3210 or askalibrarian@njit.edu.
