Links to Library Resources
Create Permanent Article URLs

1. Find the permalink for your item
Most library resources support permalinks (also known as document URLs, stable URLs, or bookmarks). See this handout for illustrations of where you can find the permalink in several major databases. If you have any trouble finding the permalink in a particular library database, please ask a librarian for assistance.
2. Make sure your link is proxy-enabled for off-campus users
Once you have your permalink, check to see if its URL starts with https://login.ezproxy.jbu.edu/login?url=. If it does, you're good to go. If it does not, there's one more step before you share it: copy and paste the link into the link generator below to create a proxy-enabled version of the link. This will ensure that off-campus users will be able to access the item you share.
