Go-live on new method of authenticating to access library resources (OpenAthens): 2 December 2024

Implementation of OpenAthens has been completed and the Unisa Library and Information Services will be going live on 2 December 2024.

Steps to access library resources:

  • After selecting the resource, you will still be directed to the “Unisa CAS login” page.
  • Unisa students to use their student number as user name and myLife password.
  • Unisa staff to use their Unisa network user name and the corresponding password.

 

It is recommended that to successfully login, you continue accessing resources via the Unisa website to ensure seamless access.

The process of switching over to OpenAthens authentication will take 24-48 hours to complete from 2 December. As a result, access to some library resources might not be immediately available. Note that any bookmarks used will need to be refreshed from 2 December 2024.
