A library database is asking for my Federation when trying to login. What is my Federation?
Last Updated: Jun 26, 2025    Views: 9

If you are accessing a library database or resource, you may be asked to login using your institution's group, regional affiliation, or federation. Select OpenAthens Federation.

You will then be brought to the OpenAthens institutional search page where you can lookup Northcentral University and sign in using your university credentials to access the resource.
