Connect to Library Resources: OpenAthens

Access is easy.

If you are searching on the web:

1. Look for the login option
   
2. Then login by institution.
   
3. Search "Fraser" and University of the Fraser Valley (Library) should appear. (If it doesn't, it probably means that we don't subscribe to that content. If it appears twice choose the one with Library at the end).
   \
4. You'll then be rerouted to the UFV login page to login or if you have already logged in during the last eight hours you will have access to our content immediately.

If you are logging in via the library homepage or libguides, the login process is the same as MyClass.

Remember: if you are off campus you are likely to have to do Multi-factor authentication (MFA), so have your smartphone close by.

1. Enter your email address. If you are a student, remember to put your.name@student.ufv.ca

(If you are having issues logging into your account, hit the can't access your account link and click on work or school account and follow the steps.)

2. Hit Next and then you will be asked for your password

and one last window appears asking if you want to stay signed in.

Then you will have access to the library resources for the next 8 hours unless you delete your cookies or use an incognito/private window

Sometimes you will find UFV mentioned twice in the Institutions list. Choose the one that says University of the Fraser Valley (Library).

OVID databases and Cambridge Core are examples of this.

Guests can ask for access to our databases only if they are on campus.

We are unable to provide guest access to our electronic resources from off campus because of licensing restrictions.

Please come to the service desk, in the library, to request access to our databases. Please bring photo ID and we will sign you in. Your access will be time limited.
