What is OpenAthens?
Whether you're studying from home or working abroad, OpenAthens ensures that you can still reach Alice L. Walton School of Medicine’s full range of electronic resources. By signing in with your Walton School of Medicine account, you get the same access as you would on campus—fast, secure, and hassle-free.
Why use OpenAthens?
Because of publisher restrictions, online academic resources at Alice L. Walton School of Medicine often require users to be on the university network. OpenAthens bypasses that limitation by using your Walton School of Medicine 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?
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.
