Linking to articles and films: EBSCO and ProQuest

Discover is the default search box for the library homepage. It searches most of the libraries collections including journals, books, special collections, and more. It searches both print materials and online full text materials. This discovery tool is an EBSCO product, and has EBSCO features.  To link directly to specific articles in Discover, click on the title in your search results to pull up the specific item.  Then click"permalink" in the column on the right. Copy and paste the "permalink" into your coursepage or syllabus to provide easy access to the article.

If you are logged in or on-campus and using any one of the many databases provided by either of these two vendors, you will be provided with a persistent URL that routes users through the library login. You can find that URL by following these steps:

In EBSCO:

1. Perform a search for the article that you need.
2. From your search results, click on the title to pull up the individual item information.
3. To the right of the result, you'll see three dots .... Click the three dots to open the menu
4. Click "share"
5. Click "create link"

Here's an example:

In ProQuest:

1. Perform a search for the article that you need.
2. The URL in the URL bar used to work just fine, but I just tested several, and it did not work. So, do this instead:
3. Once you find your article, click the "Abstract/Details" option  to pull up the individual item information. Proquest calls their persistent URL "Document URL". You may need to scroll down to see it. Select and copy this entire link. You can also find the Document URL in the details section under the Abstract section.
