Ebsco Database Permalinks

Many databases provide a permalink (permanent link) to the article. The EBSCO permalinks are the easiest to locate and best to use because they are formatted for both on or off campus access.

Here is how Academic Search Ultimate looks:

1) Next to the Article title are 3 vertical dots - click on those

Article result with 3 vertical dots highlighted

2) Click Share to see options including a permalink

Share Google Drive, One Drive, Create Link, Email

 

3) Copy and paste the permalink URL to get back to the article

Library Search Permalinks

Library Search also generates permalinks that work on or off campus.  If you want to log in and save results, visit this instruction for signing in.

1) Click on the three dots ( ... ) to the right of the article title 

Article listing with 3 horizontal dots highlighted

2) Click on Permalink

3) Copy and Paste the permalink URL to get back to the article

Other Database Permalinks

Other databases may offer permalinks - look for the chain link icon.

However, not all permalinks are formatted for off-campus access. Visit the library webpage for a Proxy Generator which will create a better permalink.
