This FAQ includes directions on how to create these special links in order to be able to save and return to both individual sources and search results lists in EBSCO databases and the library search.
In EBSCOhost subject databases, you use a special link, called a Permalink, to be able to save and return to individual articles.
On the search results page, start by first clicking on the article's title to be taken to the detailed record page for that individual article.
Next, on the individual article's detailed record page, click on the Permalink on the right side of the article's detailed record.
Here is example of a different way the page might open. You'll still find the permalink tool on the lower right.
In the EBSCOhost Discovery Search -- the main search on the library's homepage -- you will use the SAVE tool to be able to save and return to individual articles.
From the search results screen, click on the three dots on the article's record, then click Share.
On the article record itself, click on the Share icon. Then click on Create link.
In EBSCOhost subject databases, 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.
In the EBSCOhost Discovery Search -- the main search located on the library's homepage -- simply copy the URL from the browser to create a permalink to search results.
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.
On the search results screen, start by first clicking on the title to be taken to the detailed record page for that individual eBook.
Next, on the detailed record page on the individual eBook, click on the Permalink tool located in the lower, right corner.
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.
