Linking to the Library's Electronic Resources: Link to Articles

Chat with a real live librarian!

The procedure for creating a persistent link to an article from a magazine, journal, or newspaper varies from one database provider to another. Some providers can generate a link that includes our proxy prefix; for other providers, you will have to append the library's proxy prefix to the link given by the vendor.

Instructions for our most popular databases are given below.

EBSCO databases include:

• Search for an article, and then click an article title to view the detailed record
• Click on "Permalink" under Tools in the right column
• The persistent link will appear in a "Permalink" text box above the title of the article
• Click in the text box to select the full URL, which already includes the proxy prefix, and copy it to your clipboard (use Ctrl-C on a PC, Cmd-C on a Mac)
• Paste the URL from your clipboard (use Ctrl-V on a PC, Cmd-V on a Mac)
