Logging in to library resources with OpenAthens

What is OpenAthens?

OpenAthens is an identity and access management service which provides access to online resources via the Library, FLO, and reading lists.  

Logging in to library resources

If you're attempting to log in to a resource and you encounter a message such as Authenticate via your Institution or Access via your university, choose the option Flinders University online resources. You will then be prompted to log in with your FAN.

Create a link to an online resource

The OpenAthens link generator tool creates a link (or up to 50 links) to online resources that will log students and staff into the Library subscription. Old links or bookmarks can also be converted using this tool.

Why did the Library change to OpenAthens?

OpenAthens is more secure and reliable, and allows you to access subscribed content no matter where you start your search. It will allow you to move from resource to resource much faster.

What does this mean for me?

  • Bookmarked links and links in course materials with the current proxy prefix ezproxy.flinders.edu.au will still work for most resources, but will need to be updated as soon as possible. The link generator tool can be used to convert your links to OpenAthens links, or you can search in findit@flinders.
  • If you are accessing resources via findit@flinders or the Library’s eResources A-Z list, you will not need to make any changes
  • If you save or share links in FLO or other systems, you may need to update your links. You can update these links using the link generator tool.

Bookmarklet

The OpenAthens logo below can be dragged to your browser's bookmarks bar to quickly access library resources via OpenAthens.

To use the bookmarklet, navigate to the resource you want to use and click on the bookmarklet. If you're not already logged in, you'll be prompted to log in with your FAN.
