Documentation for creating links to EBSCOhost and Proquest articles

EBSCOhost | Proquest

Documentation For Creating Links to EBSCOhost Articles

You can link create links to particular articles within EBSCOhost, however, you can't just cut and paste the url from the browser address box, to get to correct url you need to go through several steps:

1) Do a search and find the articles that you want to link to.

2) Check the box next to the articles to "mark" them

3) Click on the save button

4) The save screen will have two tabs, articles and links, select the link tab

5)

You may then choose to link to the search strategy or the specific articles, check the box to link to the articles and click save a new page will come up with the persistent urls.

Here is an example of some articles that I saved as links:

Record: 1

<A HREF="http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?AN=4428469&db=afh&">The Sandwich Generation.</A>

Record: 3

One warning about setting up linked articles. The links will only work seamlessly from on-campus. S P U affiliates who have our off-campus authentication system (WAM) set up will be asked to login and then will be able to see the articles. Non-S P U people will not be able to access the articles at all.
