What is OpenAthens?

OpenAthens is a single sign-on service that lets Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology students, faculty, and staff securely access the university’s online resources from anywhere. Once you're logged in with your Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology credentials, you can explore journals, databases, and other academic content—just as if you were on campus.

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?

EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPNs all offer ways to access restricted academic resources off-campus, but they work in very different ways. EZproxy uses IP-based authentication, rerouting your connection so it appears as though you're on the university network. OpenAthens, on the other hand, uses identity-based authentication—meaning you log in once with your institutional credentials, and it grants access based on who you are, not where you're connecting from. VPNs simulate a campus environment by creating a secure tunnel to the university’s internal network, which can be more resource-intensive and less user-friendly.
