Work smarter, not harder with usage stats reporting
Use our customizable reporting tool to make data-driven decisions about where to spend your library budget and how to improve student retention, all included with your OpenAthens subscription.
Add on our reporting API to seamlessly integrate your library usage data into existing data visualization software, such as Tableau or Power BI for even more powerful insights into user behavior.
We support proxy, why do we need OpenAthens?
Our resource hub is full of educational content and raises awareness of the three key issues around IP-based access: security, poor user experience, and lack of personalization.
