How does the library use OpenAthens to connect to library resources?
MRU uses OpenAthens to ensure a secure sign-in process to access digital Library resources like ebooks, journals, media, and data.
Benefits for MRU Library users:
- You can now log in directly from publisher websites such as Taylor & Francis Online or Wiley Online Library to access the full text of articles and ebooks.
- Look for a Sign in via institution link or the OpenAthens Icon
- Platforms vary, select your institution from a list and enter your Mymru username and password. Some platforms may ask you to select your federation when logging in, select OpenAthens Federation if needed.
- Once you have logged in once to verify you are an MRU user, you typically won’t be asked again for 8 hours (this experience may vary depending on different settings)
- It allows the library to access high level data on usage of its resources while protecting your individual privacy.
