OpenAthens FAQs

Reference managers

Your reference manager will work as normal. However, if you use a tool such as RefWorks, EndNote or Zotero, you will need to update links that contain ezproxy.auckland.ac.nz.

Citation details such as author and title will remain the same, but you will need to update EzProxy links manually.

Updating your Zotero Connector proxy settings RefWorks

If you are using the Zotero Connector browser extension it is recommended you disable the proxy settings.

RefWorks

RefWorks has been set up for OpenAthens. You can login using the 'Use login from my Institution' option on the RefWorks site. If you have an existing account, you will be prompted to link your accounts so you can view all of your existing saved items. 

If you prefer, you can continue to use your individual login for RefWorks. The OpenAthens login option is useful only if you wish to be able to use University of Auckland Single Sign-On to access the site.
