Athens isn’t an online resource in itself, like JSTOR or RILM
It’s what’s called an authentication system. By logging in you are
verifying that you are a student or staff member at the RNCM and
therefore have access to the range of online resources the Library
provides
That’s why you need to access many of our resources through Athens
when you’re working off-site, for example from home
Think of Athens as a kind of passport or stamp of
approval that confirms your right of access to our
online resources
The following OpenAthens account has been created/modified for you.
Username: rncstu20024321
The following link should be used to activate your account:
www.openathens.net
username=rncstu20024321
activation_code=57*28C
If you cannot follow the link, please copy and paste it into your browser.
At busy times it may be a few minutes before this link will work.
When you start your course, your Athens login details are sent to you in an e-mail
These are
not
the same as the ones you use to login to your main college IT account
If you don’t see the e-mail, it’s worth checking your Clutter/Spam as well
If you still don’t see it, contact the Library on
Libstaff@rncm.ac.uk
If you don’t activate your account it will eventually expire
If this happens, contact the Library and we’ll reset it
You’ll see that your username is the number on your college swipecard,
prefaced by “rnc”. This is useful if you can’t remember it
The Library also keeps a record of current usernames – but
not
passwords
To change, or if you forget, your password, go to the Athens website at
www.openathens.net
Your password should contain
8-20 characters with a mixture of
letters and numbers and/or symbols.
It mustn’t contain any consecutive
numbers or your username
If you’re accessing online resources
offsite it’s easier to log in to Athens first
This way you can access all of our
online resources without having to log
in again
To sum up:
•
Athens is a system that verifies you have access to the Library’s online resources
•
All students and staff have an Athens account
•
Your Athens login details are e-mailed to you at the start of your course
•
These are not the same as the ones for your college IT account
•
The Athens website is
www.openathens.net
•
If you log in to this you will see the full range of online resources
•
You can change your password on the Athens website
•
Your username is rnc plus the number on your college swipecard
•
If you have any problems contact the Library at libstaff@rncm.ac.uk
Athens is an authentication system that grants students and staff access to online resources provided by libraries like RNCM. It acts as a passport, confirming your eligibility to use these resources. This system requires a unique username and password, which can be activated through an email sent at the beginning of your course. Remember to keep your account active to continue accessing valuable online materials easily.
