Easier access to your favorite online journals and publications

OpenAthens is an access management platform that enables and simplifies access of library users to UA&P's subscribed online content. With OpenAthens, you will only need your UA&P login credentials (i.e., your uap.asia username and password) to access the online resources even when you are not on-campus. You only need to authenticate once to start an 8-hour long OpenAthens session, which means you will not be asked to log in again within that eight-hour timeframe regardless of the number of online platforms you visit. A single sign-in with your uap.asia account is all that is needed to access the University library's online subscriptions.

How to use OpenAthens

If an online resource is accessible using OpenAthens, you will see a blue icon right beside it similar to the image below.

The blue icon means the link uses OpenAthens. All you have to do is to simply click on the link provided on the UA&P Library's Electronic Journals, Databases & Resources page, and then sign in with your uap.asia (Google) account when prompted. If you are already signed in on your browser, you will not be asked anymore to log in but will be brought straight to the platform where you will see that institutional access to the resource has been provided (you will either see the UA&P logo or the UA&P text).

Keep in mind that there is no need for you to configure your computer's network proxy settings for off-campus access if the resource is accessible via OpenAthens. If the blue icon does not appear, then you will have to configure your network proxy settings to access the resource off-campus by following the instructions on our online guide. 

A work in progress

For now, not all of the subscribed journals are accessible via OpenAthens. This means that you will have to use a proxy account to access them off-site. 

For Financial Times, The Economist, and Harvard Business Review, there is no need to set up your proxy settings. To access these websites, you may request for login credentials from the Library Info Desk (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
