The library uses OpenAthens for authentication and access to online resources.
Accessing Online Resources
USF students, staff, and faculty use their myUSF credentials to access online resources wherever they are. Users will only need to authenticate to OpenAthens once per session. An OpenAthens session stays active for up to 8 hours, unless you clear your browser cache and cookies. The authentication process will differ based on whether resources are accessed via library websites or directly from a content provider website.
Accessing online resources via library websites
Users accessing online resources via any library website (Fusion search, Ignacio catalog, Databases A-Z list, etc.) will be prompted to Sign in through myUSF.
