What is OpenAthens?

Think of OpenAthens as your digital key to Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology’s academic resources. It gives students, staff, and faculty secure, off-campus access to licensed databases, journals, and more—no special software or campus connection required. Just log in with your Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology credentials, and you're ready to go.

Why use OpenAthens?

Licensing deals with content providers typically limit access to users physically on campus. OpenAthens ensures that students, faculty, and staff at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology can access those same resources from anywhere, simply by logging in with their Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology username and password.

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.
