What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Lenox Memorial Middle & High School’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Lenox Memorial 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 Lenox Memorial Middle & High School’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?
While all three systems—EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN—help extend access to university resources beyond the campus, they differ in how they authenticate users. EZproxy relies on IP masking to make remote users appear to be on campus. OpenAthens uses a modern, federated identity system to verify individual users through single sign-on. VPNs route your entire internet connection through the university's network, which can offer broader access but may also slow down your connection or raise security concerns for non-academic browsing.
