*Japanese version is here→ “学認による電子リソースの学外からの利用について

What is GakuNin

Through GakuNin you can access licensed e-resources with your Saitama University Unified Authentication Account when you are off-campus.
GakuNin is the Academic Access Management Federation in Japan. If you want to know more about GakuNin, please check the external website.

Who can use e-resources through GakuNin

All of the current members who have Saitama University Unified Authentication Account can do.

How to use

There are some differences between each service, but the general flow is almost the same. Let us explain it briefly.

First, click “Institutional login” on a website (expression may differ depending on websites) and select “Saitama University” as institution. Next, log in with Saitama University Unified Authentication Account and password. For each e-resource, please look at the list below.

GakuNin uses a mechanism called “Single Sign-On”. Once you log in one service, you can use the other e-resources listed below without entering your account and password again.

Notice

You need to log out individually for each logged-in service and to close all of the logged-in browser windows. Please pay special attention with shared PCs.

Please be careful not to download too much data at one time (systematic and programmatic download). You cannot use e-resources commercially or beyond research purpose. Such prohibited use may lead to suspension of service.

You can only access the contents to which Saitama University subscribes.

E-resources which can be used through GakuNin are shown below.
