The prefix will prompt you to sign in through OpenAthens before reaching the resource.
If you wish to create a bookmark for a resource, the redirector prefix adds the convenience of not having to sign in at a later point in the browsing session.
Here is how it works:
The ClinicalKey database contains electronic books, including textbooks. It is a good resource to have bookmarked.
The URL for ClinicalKey is www.clinicalkey.com.
However if you go to this URL, you will be asked to pay or sign in at some point during your browsing session.
Adding the prefix before clinicalkey.com will prompt you to sign in through OpenAthens at the beginning of your browsing session.
https://go.openathens.net/redirector/library.tmc.edu?url=http://www.clinicalkey.com
Add the redirector prefix before the URL of the resource you would like to use.
The redirector prefix will work with most of the TMC Library's electronic resources. One exception is PubMed. For more information on accessing TMC Library resources through PubMed, please see this link: https://libguides.library.tmc.edu/OpenAthens/PubMed
