What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Jerusalem College of Technology’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Jerusalem Tech account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Due to licensing agreements with publishers, most of Jerusalem College of Technology’s online academic content is limited to authorized users. OpenAthens bridges the gap by verifying your identity and granting access from anywhere, without requiring you to connect through the university’s internal network.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
When comparing EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN, it’s helpful to think about what each tool is designed to do. VPNs are great for full network access, allowing staff and faculty to use internal tools as if they were on campus. EZproxy and OpenAthens, however, are designed specifically for accessing library and academic resources. OpenAthens improves on EZproxy by using modern identity-based access instead of relying on IP ranges, making it easier to manage access permissions across different publishers and platforms.
