What is OpenAthens?
With OpenAthens, members of the University of the Philippines Manila community can access licensed digital resources both on and off campus. It works behind the scenes to verify your UP Manila 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 University of the Philippines Manila can access those same resources from anywhere, simply by logging in with their UP Manila username and password.
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.
