Westlaw UK is now part of the Athens Single Sign-On process and the method
to sign on to the service has changed slightly. To this end you were all
sent a new link to implement onto your website:
http://athens.westlaw.com/signon/default.wl?RS=WLW2.87&VR=2.0&cbhf=ukhdft
Please note that this link needs to be implemented immediately in all places
on your website where users can access via Athens. The old method of sign-on
is now insecure and will be permanently disabled on July 21st 2003. Although
the old link is still active this allows unchallenged access to Westlaw UK
and is a security risk.
After the old link has been disabled any deep links that you may have to UK
and US Journals or any links to specific documents on Westlaw UK will not
work. New links have been created to all full text UK journals and a
selection of US journals. These are now available for distribution. If you
would like a copy of the links, please contact Andrew Marsden at Westlaw UK
([log in to unmask]) and he will forward them to you.
For those who have created specific links to materials on the website using
the link builder tool, a new one is about to be released. If you would like
to have access to this tool, please contact Andrew.
If you have any other questions or experience any technical problems with
the new method of access, please contact Westlaw Customer Support on 0800
028 2200 or email [log in to unmask]
