What is OpenAthens?
With OpenAthens, members of the American College of Veterinary Radiology community can access licensed digital resources both on and off campus. It works behind the scenes to verify your Veterinary Radiology College login, giving you seamless access to the same academic materials you’d normally use while connected to the campus network.
Why use OpenAthens?
Because of publisher restrictions, online academic resources at American College of Veterinary Radiology often require users to be on the university network. OpenAthens bypasses that limitation by using your Veterinary Radiology College 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?
While all three systems—EZproxy, OpenAthens, and VPN—help extend access to university resources beyond the campus, they differ in how they authenticate users. EZproxy relies on IP masking to make remote users appear to be on campus. OpenAthens uses a modern, federated identity system to verify individual users through single sign-on. VPNs route your entire internet connection through the university's network, which can offer broader access but may also slow down your connection or raise security concerns for non-academic browsing.
