Link to an Article from Library's Licensed Databases

Library databases allow direct links to many journal articles. Linking to an article, rather than posting a copy, ensures compliance with copyright restrictions.

 

EBSCO databases: Look for PERMALINK under TOOLS on the right hand side of the record

ProQuest databases: Right-click on Citation/Abstract; copy link location

JSTOR: The URL that appears in the browser bar of the article summary page is the persistent link for that article

Project Muse: Click on Export Citations, and copy the Stable URL

 

To add an article link in Moodle, add this prefix to article's link:
