Q. I’m no longer at OHSU but when I go to a website it tries to direct me back to OHSU resources. How do I fix this?

This problem is usually caused by settings in your browser or citation tools (like EndNote or Zotero) that are trying to route you through OHSU systems, even though you no longer have access.

To fix this, you need to update your settings in tools or services you've used to remove the OHSU Library base URL (https://librarysearch.ohsu.edu/openurl/01ALLIANCE_OHSU/01ALLIANCE_OHSU:OHSU?).

You may also need to:

• Uninstall any browser plugins related to OHSU Library access
• Clear your browser’s cache (this helps remove saved settings that might be causing issues)
