Tufts Libraries OpenAthens Support Guide

Welcome to the Tufts Libraries OpenAthens Support Guide

This guide is here to help you transition seamlessly to accessing Tufts Libraries resources as we prepare to move to OpenAthens.

Important Dates to Remember

Tufts Libraries will begin migrating to OpenAthens on January 6. Please do not update any EZproxy links until January 13, as some vendor-specific URLs will only work after additional configuration is complete.

Links to Resources

As part of the transition to OpenAthens, the links to access library electronic resources will change. Library Technology Services (TTS) will automatically update EZproxy links to OpenAthens-compatible links in:

  • JumboSearch
  • Library websites
  • Research guides
  • Canvas reading lists
However, researchers will need to manually update EZproxy links in:
  • Canvas syllabi and course pages
  • Course webpages
  • Citation managers (like EndNote and Zotero)
  • Personal bookmarks in browsers

Stay Updated

Please note that the information in this guide is subject to change until the migration is finalized. Be sure to check back for updates as we approach the go-live date.
