Connect to Library Resources

Institutional Login (also known as "Shibboleth" or "Single Sign on") has been enabled as an additional authentication mode for over 50 platforms at UD. Institutional Login is in addition to (not a replacement of) the Libraries’ more common authentication method, EZproxy. As pictured below, this new method enables users to log in when subscriptions are reached from outside the library website (e.g., from Google, an article link sent by a professor, or an email alert). 

Step-by-step instructions for using the Institutional Login authentication method:

• Within many publisher platforms (ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, Oxford Academic, SpringerLink, etc) you might see an option to "Access through your institution", as circled in the following example from Wiley Online Library:

• Upon selecting this "Access through your institution" link, you should see a search box to locate the University of Dayton. As pictured here, typing in "dayton" brings up the option for UD, which can be selected: 

• After selecting the option for UD, you will be routed to UD's username and password screen (pictured below), or if you have already authenticated via another UD system such as banner, it will automatically authenticate you.

• After authenticating, you will now see the full text for the individual article, as well as custom UD branding within the publisher platform, as pictured here:

Note: If the institution lookup search is unavailable, select the "your region or Federation" dropdown and within this list, select "US InCommon Higher Education." This will open a new page with a list of institutions. Within this list, select "University of Dayton" and login as above.

If University of Dayton is not listed, it may be that we do not subscribe to the resource you are trying to access. If in doubt, contact the Library.
