What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Universidad Empresarial Siglo 21’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Siglo 21 account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Many of the resources provided by Universidad Empresarial Siglo 21, such as databases and e-journals, are restricted to users on the campus network. OpenAthens allows you to access these resources remotely by securely confirming your Siglo 21 login, so you don’t have to be on site to get what you need.
What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?
EZproxy and VPNs have traditionally been used to simulate on-campus access by rerouting traffic through university IPs. OpenAthens represents a shift away from IP-based models by using a cloud-based authentication system that identifies users individually. This allows OpenAthens to be more flexible and scalable across platforms, and it often requires less maintenance for IT departments. VPNs remain useful for broader internal network access, but for licensed digital content, OpenAthens often provides a more streamlined experience.
