What is Athens?
• An electronic access management system –
provides a “back door” to subscribed resources
from a remote location
• Allows librarian to control who uses their
resources
• Protects publishers from unauthorised use of
their products
• Only provides access to the content your library
has subscribed to
• Not every publisher has signed up to it (e.g.
UpToDate)
