Log in from the library website
When you access online resources from the library website remotely, log in using your BlueKey login credentials, just like when logging into other campus resources such as D2L, Campus Connect, and Zoom.
- Begin at the library website to find resources.
- When you click on an online resource (e.g. a database, journal article or e-book from LibrarySearch, etc.), log in with your BlueKey login credentials: your BlueM@il email address (username@depaul.edu) and password.
You will remain logged in for 8 hours and will not need to authenticate to access any other online library resources unless you switch browsers, clear cookies, or use a new device.

If you find an article without going through the library website (e.g. Google Scholar, web search), many publishers/vendors allow you to log in directly using OpenAthens.

-
Log in through your institution

-

-
Ignore the option to sign in with an OpenAthens account.
-
Some websites may ask you to select your federation when logging in, so select OpenAthens Federation if needed.

Not all publishers/vendors offer this single sign-on login from their websites/databases. For some, you will still need to go through the library website.
