Scheduled Maintenance: E-Resources Authentication Migration

Scheduled for Jan 12, 09:00 EST  -  Jan 30, 17:00 EST

Scheduled

January 12 - January 26, 2026 we are migrating our e-resources authentication service from EZProxy to OpenAthens.


  • We don’t expect any downtime.
  • The catalog links won’t change, and the user authentication experience will remain largely the same for most resources.

If you do have an issue authenticating, use the library catalog to do a new search for the e-resource you’d like and follow that link from the catalog.

Get Help

If you have issues with accessing resources email e-resources team jira.edatabases@nyu.edu for assistance.



You're more likely to get a broken link starting on Jan. 12th if...

  • You’re trying to access e-resources from older documents, the URLs may no longer work.
  • Your e-resource link has `proxy.library.nyu.edu` in the URL, and is from one of the following vendors, the link will no longer work.
