Open Athens provides nimble control for managing access rights to groups of users. Using new or existing attributes and categories, you can control access to specific resources based on licensing requirements as well as the structure and strategic focus of your organization.
Open Athens is a username and password system that controls access to web-based subscription services. The Botswana University of Agriculture Natural Resource Library uses Open Athens to provide its patrons (employees and students) with off-campus access to resources from the library’s online databases, electronic journals, and e-books. It makes access simple for customers and helps reduce the use of pirate sites and sharing of content without permission.
Open Athens allows users to access library resources anywhere, provided they have access to the internet. In addition, the user will be able to log in with their BUAN Office 365 credentials to access BUAN library electronic resources.
