OpenAthens Access

As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance access to online resources, we are in the process of implementing OpenAthens. While "UNISA" may currently appear as an option under the "Login through your organization" section on certain platforms, please be aware that OpenAthens has not yet been fully activated for UNISA.

In the meantime, we request that you continue accessing resources via the official Unisa website to ensure seamless access. Logging in directly through OpenAthens will result in an unsuccessful login.

For any inquiries or assistance, please send an e-mail to lib-help@unisa.ac.za

We appreciate your patience and will notify you once the implementation is complete.”
