What is OpenAthens?
With OpenAthens, members of the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi community can access licensed digital resources both on and off campus. It works behind the scenes to verify your Rajamangala Thanyaburi login, giving you seamless access to the same academic materials you’d normally use while connected to the campus network.
Why use OpenAthens?
Licensing deals with content providers typically limit access to users physically on campus. OpenAthens ensures that students, faculty, and staff at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi can access those same resources from anywhere, simply by logging in with their Rajamangala Thanyaburi 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.
