Linking to Articles

Article links found through library databases are often temporary links. If you want to provide links that are stable and will work from both on and off-campus, you need to create a usable link:

1. Locate a stable URL.
2. Add library authentication: copy the stable URL below and click Convert Link.

Locate stable URLs

• Some databases produce stable URLs in the browser address bar. See example. These include:
  • Grove
  • Project Muse
  • Wiley Interscience
• ACM:
  Copy the DOI Bookmark. See example.
• CQ:
  Copy the Document URL at the bottom of the screen. See example.
• Emerald
  Copy the Article URL below the abstract. See example.
• ProQuest:
  Look for Document URL at the end of the article information. (ProQuest Document URLs do not need to have the library authentication applied.) See example.
• JSTOR:
  Copy Stable URL. See example.
• Newsbank:
  Copy Open URL article bookmark at bottom of page. See example.
• Thomson/Gale/Infotrac:
  Copy URL in the Source Citation at the end of the article. See example.
