OpenAthens is our new sign-in method for off-campus access to library resources – articles, books, journals, and media. It has replaced our old method, EZproxy. Either way, you can still sign in with your UMB username and password. That has not changed.
When you click on a library resource link, you will get the same login interface and steps as webmail.umb.edu to log in for Library resources, using your email address and password. Similar to Microsoft MFA for webmail.umb.edu, MFA is also required for OpenAthens.
You will need to update any bookmarks, saved links, and reading list links that contain ezproxy.lib.umb.edu. Visit the "Update your URLs for OpenAthens" page. As of January 2024, EZproxy links no longer work.
