What will change with the OpenAthens and EZProxy switchover?
Answer
What Must be Changed
- Bookmarks, and links in digital documents or course materials that contain the EZProxy indicator https://lomc.idm.oclc.org/login?url= will not work after 15 July 2025.
What Else Will Change
- How you log into e-resources from offsite will change. The current EZProxy authentication page will be replaced with the OA method.
- Searching becomes easier. You can start with Google if you want to. You'll be able to access any resource in Google search results as long as our library subscribes to it. To access the resource you will need to select login with OpenAthens, select our institution from the list, and enter your OA username and password. (The disadvantage of this method is that you may come across a resource that we don't subscribe to. In that case, OpenAthens will not allow access.)
