E-resources Authentication Changes

The Library has updated the method for authenticating to Library e-resources. We are now using OpenAthens instead of Shibboleth and the Library proxy server. This will help to future proof Library authentication, provide more stable access and better functionality, and will allow more flexibility in the way that we provide access to our e-resources. All Library links to e-resources (e.g. via Library Search, Talis Aspire, etc.) have been updated to use OpenAthens. However, if you have direct links to Library e-resources which don't go via Library Search, Talis Aspire, etc. you may find these no longer work and if so you will need to manually update them. Please do contact the Library if you need support with this.

There is more information about accessing Library e-resources on our web pages.
