The Library is pleased to announce that on Monday, June 23 we will be implementing OpenAthens Compass to simplify authentication and provide more secure access to library resources, both on and off campus.
What’s changing:
- On campus: No changes for the user – the Library will continue to provide an IP authentication service for on-campus access, allowing for seamless access to library resources.
- Off campus: When accessing library resources, you will be prompted to log in once with your R number and My.Scranton password to activate a renewable 8-hour session. During that session, you will not be asked to authenticate again, regardless of the different platforms you visit
What does this mean for you?
- If you have saved permalinks or reading lists using the old proxy prefix (https://login.ezp.scranton.edu/login?url=), they will need to be updated with the OpenAthens link generator: https://go.openathens.net/generate/scranton.edu/81849554.
- Copy your old link (remove the beginning part that reads: https://login.ezp.scranton.edu/login?url=)
- Paste it into the generator to get your new link
If you have any additional questions, please contact Jennifer Galas or Sylvia Orner.
