OpenAthens Help Page

To create a more secure and seamless browsing experience, the Huntington Health Library updated its access procedure for offsite users.

Now, you will no longer see an OpenAthens login page when accessing the library from offsite. Instead, you will automatically be redirected to your regular Cedars-Sinai Universal Login. 

Whom will this affect?

Onsite users (within the hospital network's WiFi) will experience no change.

Login is not required.

Offsite users will be prompted to login using their Cedars-Sinai Universal Login username and password.
