What is OpenAthens?

OpenAthens is an authentication service that is being implemented by the Florida Academic Library Services Consortium (FALSC) for the Florida College System and State University System libraries. OpenAthens provides a single sign on to subscription-based electronic resources like library databases and e-books from on and off campus. OpenAthens is replacing the EZProxy authentication currently in use.
