Currently, electronic resources (e-books, e-journals, databases, etc.) contracted by Library of Shimonoseki City University will be available from outside the university.

■OpenAthens(OA) certification
OpenAthens (single sign-on) is an authentication tool for using the electronic resources that the library has subscribed to.
Once you log in first, you will be able to use it seamlessly with different electronic resources.
Please refer to the Library of Shimonoseki City University website (search and find) for electronic resources through OpenAthens authentication.
Please note that some electronic resources can be used exclusively on campus or through independent authentication.

[Switching work day] Tuesday, April 8, 2025
After the work, once the new password has been set, you can use the electronic resources as before.

■OpenAthens(OA) certification target
Teachers, students, graduate students, major students

■How to Set Password
First of all, the following authentication screen will be displayed after clicking on the electronic resources under contract or the banner of OpenAthens. Please set a new password from "Problems signing in?" in the frame. If you forget your password, you can set it in the same way. Username is the personal email address given by the university (**@shimonoseki-cu.ac.jp or ****@eco.shimonoseki-cu.ac.jp), so you cannot set it from any other email address.

If you have any questions, please contact Library of Shimonoseki City University Library Division.
