What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Rambert School account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Because of publisher restrictions, online academic resources at Rambert School of Ballet & Contemporary Dance often require users to be on the university network. OpenAthens bypasses that limitation by using your Rambert School credentials to authenticate access—so whether you're on campus or not, your access stays the same.
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.
