Update your library links

Federation Library has made changes to authentication for electronic resources from EZproxy to OpenAthens.

From Thursday December 1 2022, the Library no longer supports EZproxy links to Library resources.

Federation University staff can update EZproxy links to OpenAthens links using the link generator tool. You will need to check and update links in Moodle, in reference software such as EndNote and any bookmarked URLs that contain EZproxy in the link.

Students please note: if you experience any linking issues in Moodle, contact your Course or Unit Coordinator or the library at learningresources@federation.edu.au

How do I know if a link needs updating?

Links that need updating will contain ‘ezproxy.federation.edu.au’ in the URL.

Below are some examples:

  • https://ezproxy.federation.edu.au/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1080/09500693.2017.1388940
  • https://doi-org.ezproxy.federation.edu.au/10.1111/j.1523-1739.2007.00676.x

How do I update my EZproxy links?

To update EZproxy links you will need to generate new links which use OpenAthens authentication.

Staff can update links using the link generator tool.

For more information see our OpenAthens authentication guide.

Who do I contact for help?

If staff need help to update links, please contact us for help.

If you are a student experiencing any linking issues in Moodle, you can contact your Course or Unit Coordinator or the library at learningresources@federation.edu.au.
