Linking to an Article

Linking to a Search

In both EBSCOhost subject databases and the library's main search, you can use a special link, called the Permalink, to be able to save and return searches. On the search results screen, click on the Share icon. Then locate the permalink in the menu that appears.

 

 

 

 

Linking to an eBook

In the library's search, you can use a special link, called the Permalink, to be able to save and return to an individual eBook record by using the Permalink tool.

 

 

 

Linking to a chapter in an eBook

 

It's even possible to copy a link for individual chapters. Start by navigating to the needed chapter within the eBook, and clicking on the Permalink icon at the top.

 

 

This generates a permalink that can be copied and used to return to the individual, specific chapter.
