OpenAthens is our new sign-in method for access to library resources. OpenAthens lets you log in with your NWACC email and password, and stay logged into library resources longer.
Use our library links to e-journals, books, and databases so that you can be authenticated as a current student, faculty, or staff member.
These links will take you to the normal NWACC Login page, and then to your chosen journal, video, or ebook.
Users will be asked to sign into library databases each time they access them.
Sign in will be required on campus and off campus.
Users will trigger an OpenAthens session the first time they are asked to authenticate. The session lasts for 8 hours before there is a need to authenticate again.
