Please see special instructions linked below for Ebsco, ProQuest, and Gale databases.

 

Often, the URL in your browser address bar will contain session data, so that the URL will not work for other users.  

  1. Look for a permalink, share, DOI, or cite icon: the location of this can vary by database or publisher. 
  2. Copy that link.
  3. To make the link work for off-campus user, paste it into the OpenAthens link generator at the Athenizer linked below.
  4. Copy the resulting link and test it.
  5. Link doesn't work? Please Ask us and we'll help you construct a working permalink.
