OpenAthens is a single sign-on tool that lets users access library and campus resources with one login. It connects your institution’s system to publishers and databases, so you don’t have to enter separate usernames and passwords for each site. It also provides secure, remote access to online journals, databases, and other licensed materials.
OpenAthens replaced our previous system, EZproxy, which required you to enter your library card number. OpenAthens offers a more secure and reliable experience for SRC library patrons.
All resources have migrated to OpenAthens. If you have questions about updating permalinks, please contact your SRC Librarian, Catherine Calvert: catherine.calvert@src.edu
You will need to update your links to SRC Library resources.
Do you use library links in Canvas? In course documents? Do you have library resources bookmarked in your browser? All library links will need to be updated.
Why do you need to update your links?
OpenAthens uses a different techology to manage access to resources, which will change the syntaxes of the links currently in use to allow seamless user authentication. To update links, visit the LRC website, find and view the content, copy and paste the new link.
If you have any issues, please get in touch with LRC library staff, and we will be able to help you.
