O’Reilly for Higher Education, a resource with e-books and videos primarily focused on information technology and business, has updated its authentication for compatibility with OpenAthens. OpenAthens is what almost all other library resources use to authenticate. The update will be primarily behind-the-scenes to you, but you should experience quicker load times and increased stability.
The most significant change for most students will be the ability to use O’Reilly’s mobile apps. The apps are downloadable from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. For links, see O’Reilly’s page on apps.
Once downloaded, enter your student email (the one ending in @student.purdueglobal.edu). You will then see the regular OpenAthens login options you see anytime you authenticate with a PG Library resource. Follow the prompts, and you’ll have access to all of O’Reilly’s content through the app.
