OpenAthens Products
OpenAthens comes in different flavours to suit your needs - choose from OpenAthens MD, OpenAthens LA or OpenAthens SP.
OpenAthens LA 2.0 has been ground-breaking; it has really created a cultural change within the university. Staff find it much easier to use, so they recommend resources to students more frequently as they know they will be able to access them easily.
