ArcGIS online is now enabled for Single-Sign On. Instructions are available on the Western Libraries Geospatial Hub on the Licensing Page.

This account will be linked to Western’s ArcGIS Online organization and grant you access to web-GIS software such as: Survey123, Collector for ArcGIS, Story Maps, Experience Builder, Dashboards, App Studio, Business Analyst, Community Analyst and more. This account is also how you'll access ArcGIS Pro and other stand alone Esri desktop products.
QGIS is a free and open source GIS software program that allows you to "create, edit, visualise, analyse, or publish geospatial information" (qgis.org). This program can run on a variety of operating systems - Windows, Linux, Mac, and in the future, Android.
