What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Angeles University Foundation’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Angeles University account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Because of publisher restrictions, online academic resources at Angeles University Foundation often require users to be on the university network. OpenAthens bypasses that limitation by using your Angeles University credentials to authenticate access—so whether you're on campus or not, your access stays the same.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
The key difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and a VPN lies in how they handle authentication and user access. EZproxy works by rewriting links and proxying your session through a campus IP address. OpenAthens uses federated identity management to authenticate users based on their university credentials, offering a more scalable and secure solution. A VPN creates a private connection to the university’s network, which is useful for accessing internal systems, but overkill for simply reading journals or using library databases.
