Q. How do I provide a stable link or permalink to a journal article?

Find the permalink:

• EBSCOhost: Use the Permalink feature.
• ProQuest: Use the permalink provided in auto-generated citations.
• Other Databases: Sometimes, the web address in your browser bar works as a permalink.

Test your permalink:

• Copy and paste the permalink into an incognito/private window, another browser, or test it from home (off campus).

Add the Proxy Server Address if Needed:

• If the link doesn't open, add the proxy server address to the end of the link's stem (see example below)

lib-proxy.fullerton.edu

So that:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045653516304921

Becomes:

http://www.sciencedirect.com.lib-proxy.fullerton.edu/science/article/pii/S0045653516304921 

By following these steps, you can ensure you have reliable access to library resources from off campus.
