What is OpenAthens?
OpenAthens is a single sign-on service that lets Navamindradhiraj University students, faculty, and staff securely access the university’s online resources from anywhere. Once you're logged in with your Navamindradhiraj credentials, you can explore journals, databases, and other academic content—just as if you were on campus.
Why use OpenAthens?
Due to licensing agreements with publishers, most of Navamindradhiraj University’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.
