Athens administrators

internurse.com is Athens compatible, allowing subscribing institutions to easily manage access to the content. There are different routes to accessing this content which are described below:

General access

By visiting www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html you will return to the internurse.com homepage. You now have full access to the complete library and can use our search tools to find the information you are looking for. When you leave the internurse.com website you will be logged out of the site.

You can change this behaviour if you supply the return page above (www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html) with a URL parameter. Detailed below is how you can directly access, journals, issues, articles and even the search results page. The fundamental principle is that you can direct your users to any internurse page and simultaneously authenticate through Athens. You will need to use a customised URL that is of the form http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?url= and supply this the URL you wish to end up at. This will take your users through the Athens authenication and send them back to the page you supplied.

NB If you are passing multiple parameters through the URL, e.g.

http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?url=
http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/library/article.cgi?
uid=18547&article=BJN_14_14_743

You must replace the & with %2526 so this URL would look like:

http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?url=
http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/library/article.cgi?
uid=18547%2526article=BJN_14_14_743

You can access an individual journal direct using the following URL (the URL is changed for each journal). For example:

http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?
url=http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/library/
issues.html?journal_uid=9

The syntax you need to use is:

http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?
url=http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/library/
issues.html?journal_uid=[[journalID]]

Issue access

http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/athens.html?
url=http://www.internurse.com/cgi-bin/go.pl/library/

We have created a page which displays all the URLs you need for directly accessing the issues or journals. This page will allow you to create links direct to the internurse.com journals and issues.

Search articles

internurse.com allows you to access the search via Athens using the following syntax. This will take users via Athens and then return the search results. The syntax will change and can be created by your system using the following search parameters.
