Reminder: Open Athens is coming
What is OpenAthens?
OpenAthens is a user authentication and e-resources access system that replaces EZproxy as your gateway to electronic resources licensed by The TMC Library. From the user’s point of view, it will be similar to using EZproxy, except that your right to access full text is validated on the resource side.
The OpenAthens login option presents itself at resource provider sites. Once you’ve logged in with one site, as with EZproxy, you probably won’t need to log in again unless you’ve ended your browser session.
OpenAthens adapts to each publisher’s authentication requirements, providing a secure access point using the method most appropriate to that publisher- linking via a proxy server, using a standard protocol, or using a special protocol agreed upon between OpenAthens and one content provider.
With OpenAthens, you can bookmark your favorite resources and use them from anywhere on the web you happen to be.
Baylor College of Medicine and UTHealth users will experience the most seamless access, because of the Single Sign-On (SSO) technology that these institutions employ internally. They will not need to register for OpenAthens; they’ll be recognized and granted access as soon as they have a working institutional email account.
MD Anderson users will register for access, receive an email shortly afterwards with a link to follow, set up a personal login, and have same-day access.
Other users will also need to register and establish personal OpenAthens accounts. The process will be the same as before: get a library card number from The TMC Library and register for remote access. Within two days, the library verifies that your institution has vouched for you. The Library triggers release of an email from OpenAthens that prompts you to follow a link to set up your individual login.
