Remote Access

OpenAthens is an authentication service. It allows you to use your UP Webmail login credentials (@up.edu.ph) to access subscribed library resources both on and off-campus. With a single sign-on (SSO), you can access most of the library’s electronic resources with just one login, making access to library resources easier and more reliable with improved security.

Note that OpenAthens is a “gateway” service to facilitate access to publisher content. It does not include any content of its own.

UP Manila Virtual Private Network, UPM VPN is a connection method that creates a secure "tunnel" across the Internet between your remote network and UP Manila's network. When you connect to your office or home (considered a private network) via VPN, it is as if you're actually located on University campus. VPN is particularly essential to UPM Manila for the following reasons:

1. 1. 1. Some websites or web-based information systems local to UP Manila are only accessible from within UP Manila via its private network.

      2. Online publications (used by faculty members and students) recognize only computers connected to the Internet from within UP Manila via its private network.

Note: The IMS administers the VPN service. Queries about the VPN service must be sent to the IMS Network Team via email address ims.netops@post.upm.edu.ph. For a detailed guide on UPM VPN, click here
