Open Athens Troubleshooting FAQ

 

I am not on site and need to access AZHIN resources. 

Due to the nature of our contractual agreements with publishers, AZHIN members do not have direct access to electronic resources when not on site at their home institution/campus.  To gain access to your AZHIN resources when not on site, you need to login into the system called OpenAthens.  This system allows you access your AZHIN resources from any offsite/off-campus location.

 

What if I forget my password?

You can go to the Athens Password Reset 

 

How do I get to the resources?

You can get to the resources by using the login on this page or by logging in on the MyAthens page.

 

Why was I denied access to a resource?

  • You opened a new browser session:  You are only authenticated in the browser session that you used to log in. Opening a new browser session will require you to log in again.
  • You found the resource through Google or another search engine: It may have failed because we do not have a subscription to the resource.  even if you are prompted to log in with OpenAthens, it will not take you to a resource we do not own. 
  • Electronic books user limits: Some electronic books have a limit on the number of simultaneous users.  Please try again.
