As of 2019, the CWRU Libraries implemented a new authentication method. Via OpenAthens, a user of the library online resources will be routed through CWRU's Single Sign-On (SSO). The advantage is VPN will no longer be needed for the majority of library resources.
What do you need to know?
- Some web addresses will be changing. Please start your searches and access from the library website, including the catalog, CWRU Libraries Search, eJournal Portal, and Databases list. Your previously bookmarked shortcuts may stop working.
- You will need to log-in for all library online access, even when on the campus wired network or the "Case Wireless" network.
- Close your browser when done.
- When logged in and a browser window is not closed, access should continue from resource to resource.
- Some resources will still require VPN to gain access, but those resources are clearly identified.
