Q. What library products does OpenAthens offer?

Answer...

OpenAthens offers two single sign-on library products that provide secure access to online resources for institutions worldwide: OpenAthens Compass and OpenAthens Connect. A comparison of the differences between the products is available on our website.

• OpenAthens Compass is a premium, fully supported single sign-on solution for libraries and institutions with complex needs. It offers advanced resource and user management and is supported by a dedicated team of authentication experts.
• OpenAthens Connect is a secure and reliable single sign-on solution for libraries with simpler requirements. It provides core features and cost-effective remote access to digital subscriptions.

Both products support true single sign-on using SAML and can integrate with existing authentication systems. OpenAthens also offers a managed proxy service for resources that require IP-based access. Together, these products deliver a privacy-preserving, future-ready solution that improves the user journey for students and researchers, wherever they are.
