All about the Lewis Library's transition from EZproxy to OpenAthens for accessing online resources..

Linking to Library Resources

For most online library resources, there will be a tab or link to generate the permalink. In EBSCO, for example, this shows up along the right-hand side when viewing a resource (as seen below). Click on that and a permalink you can copy and paste into Blackboard, a website, or email, will appear.

On the Library's Database A-Z list, click the share icon to the right of each database to copy the permalink.

 

The easiest way to link to articles and ebooks available through the Lewis Library is to use permalinks from the Library's Primo search.

Click on the permalink icon in the brief results display or the link in the full record display to get the permalink you can copy and paste into Blackboard, an email, document, website, etc.

Then search for a journal title. From the journal search results page, you can click the permalink icon in the brief results list or the link in the full record display for a permalink to that journal title.
