Linking to Articles
The Libraries subscribe to a number of databases that have stable Internet addresses for full-text articles. Links to articles can be included in web pages, Canvas courses, or in email.
Off-campus access: To make an article accessible off-campus to current CSB and SJU students, faculty, and staff add http://ezproxy.csbsju.edu/login?url= to the beginning of the URL. We are using SAML authentication for a few platforms: ProQuest Ebook Central and Swank. This means you don’t need to add the ezproxy prefix to resources in these databases and users will still get the opportunity to authenticate and access from off-campus. We will update this list as we update more databases to use SAML.
If your link isn’t working the problem might be with special characters in your URL. Try running your URL through this encoder to transform problem characters to their encoded equivalent then add the URL above to the beginning of this new encoded link. This may well solve the problem.
Options for creating persistent links to articles:
