To share a Lexis link with a colleague or on a clippings email, you can manually amend it to easily allow an OpenAthens user to access it.
For example, to link a NYT article, start by logging in with our Friendly URL: https://library.doc.gov/LexisNYT. When you find an article, click the chain link icon highlighted below and copy the URL.
When you have the URL, copy the following parameters and paste them into the URL in the location noted below: &federationidp=CDB43G63413&
URL from Lexis: https://plus.lexis.com/api/permalink/cfbadb92-8a4f-49bb-aae5-23821d51e76b/?context=1530671
Amended URL: https://plus.lexis.com/api/permalink/cfbadb92-8a4f-49bb-aae5-23821d51e76b/?&federationidp=CDB43G63413&context=1530671
When users click on the amended link, they will be recognized as OpenAthens users. They will either be asked to log in with OpenAthens or, if they have already logged in for the day, they will be taken directly to the article in Lexis.
