What is OpenAthens?
OpenAthens provides a simple and secure way for students, faculty, and staff at Navamindradhiraj University to connect to academic resources from anywhere in the world. After signing in with your Navamindradhiraj account, you’ll have full access to the university’s licensed content—without needing to use a VPN or change device settings.
Why use OpenAthens?
Licensing deals with content providers typically limit access to users physically on campus. OpenAthens ensures that students, faculty, and staff at Navamindradhiraj University can access those same resources from anywhere, simply by logging in with their Navamindradhiraj username and password.
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.
