SMC Library uses an authentication system called OpenAthens to validate user access to our subscribed electronic resources. There are various e-resources that require the OpenAthens URL leader (https://go.openathens.net/redirector/stmarys-ca.edu?url=) or the OpenAthens Link Generator to prompt user authentication from off campus. For more information on off-campus access, please read this FAQ.
Some of our e-resources are federated with OpenAthens. This means that users can select Saint Mary's College of CA from the institutional login menu to gain off-campus access.
There are also e-resources that are not federated. A safe way to gain off-campus access to these resources is to use their links from the A-Z Databases list. If the resource is not on the A-Z, please use this FAQ to create an off-campus link. Here is a list of proxy resources that require OpenAthens linking for off-campus access:
