What is OpenAthens?

With OpenAthens, members of the Universidad de Córdoba community can access licensed digital resources both on and off campus. It works behind the scenes to verify your Córdoba login, giving you seamless access to the same academic materials you’d normally use while connected to the campus network.

Why use OpenAthens?

Due to licensing agreements with publishers, most of Universidad de Córdoba’s online academic content is limited to authorized users. OpenAthens bridges the gap by verifying your identity and granting access from anywhere, without requiring you to connect through the university’s internal network.

What’s the difference between EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN?

When comparing EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN, it’s helpful to think about what each tool is designed to do. VPNs are great for full network access, allowing staff and faculty to use internal tools as if they were on campus. EZproxy and OpenAthens, however, are designed specifically for accessing library and academic resources. OpenAthens improves on EZproxy by using modern identity-based access instead of relying on IP ranges, making it easier to manage access permissions across different publishers and platforms.
