University of Toronto Libraries revamps e-resource access with OpenAthens
On May 19, U of T Libraries launched a new authentication system, OpenAthens. This service will make it easier for students, faculty, and researchers to access library e-resources from anywhere, at any time, using a single login.

The transition to OpenAthens is part of UTL’s ongoing work to provide seamless, secure and user-centered research services for our community.

Please note that with this change, you will need to log into your UTORid to access e-resources both on and off campus. If you have any questions, please contact us.
