# Accessing the URL Shortener

The URL Shortener is a tool that is used to shorten URLs into the form of **isn**.isoc.link/*example* where **isn** is your [ISoc Short Name ](https://wiki.isoc.link/books/isoclink-guide/page/isoc-short-names "ISoc Short Names")and *example* is any string of characters you set, preferably a word or words relevant to link you are shortening. For example, if you are shortening a link to a fundraising page for donations, then you can shorten it to **isn**.isoc.link/donate.

The URL Shortener can be accessed at **isn**.shortener.isoc.link and you then log in with your ISoc's credentials.
