It seems to work. It just replaces the current address with the string "http://myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/login?url=" and appends the current address again to it. Don't know if it's any better or worst than Stian's approach but it's a little simpler. Also, apparently you can use this on U of T's webmail so that links to restricted content get automatically converted by myaccess, although I've never actually tried that.

Great idea nontheless Everest Hi Stian,

Your myaccess bookmarklet is really useful and impressive but I’d just like to suggest a slightly easier shortcut which I’m not sure if you’re aware of:

Instead of popping the myaccess.library.utoronto.ca in the middle of your jstor site say, you can actually do access the same site by http://myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/login?url=http://links.jstor.org/
It just makes it easier as you just append the myacess login url to the front.
Great idea nontheless
