LJMU uses Open Athens as a secure authentication route to allow users to click through from the Library Discover search through to full text online.
Open Athens works on and off campus to ensure users can access electronic resources at their preferred place of study.
If you are using Discover, you will often not need to look for an institutional log in option, as you should log straight into the resource. However, there may be occasions when the service is not connecting correctly, or you may have accessed the resource by a route other than the links in Discover. This means that you will need to log in through your institution to allow the publisher to recognise you.
Open Athens or similar “sign-in” can seem like an extra step but the publishers (and LJMU) want to ensure only those studying or working for LJMU can access the content and connect as seamlessly as possible.
Please note: Collaborative partner access to library resources varies from partner to partner and resource to resource. Collaborative Staff and Students (Collaborative Partners) may not have access to all library resources.
