Create Permalinks

This page will help you create links (that work) to Bishop Library resources.

Be aware that one can not simply copy the browser's URL to access a resource. To enable reliable, permanent access, you must use a permanent or permalink.

Permalinks may also be called static URLs, durable URLs, stable URLs and persistant URLs. Also, for links to work off-campus, they must be proxied.

Directions for creating permalinks--and dealing with the proxy--are found in the subtabs above.

Need assistance creating permalinks not covered in this guide? Please contact Lori Nyce.

To create links to articles found in Bishop Library's databases, you need to know the vendor. You can figure out the vendor by looking for a vendor logo on your search screen. Bishop Library's most common vendors are:

Find directions for each vendor below.

EBSCOhost

Links to individual records may now be copied from your browser's address bar.
Links to searches within EBSCOhost databases may also be copied from your browser's address bar.
Create shorter links by marking the record (box to the left of article title), selecting the share icon (pictured below), then choosing Create Link.

For off-campus access, add the proxy https://proxy-lvc.klnpa.org/login?url= to the beginning of the EBSCO URL:
- https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=b0cb8e54-7630-3ac2-a793-c4819cb96b2b will become https://proxy-lvc.klnpa.org/login?url=https://research.ebsco.com/linkprocessor/plink?id=b0cb8e54-7630-3ac2-a793-c4819cb96b2b

JSTOR

Click on the JSTOR database from the online database list.
Search for an article.
Click on the article title.
Find the stable URL (JSTOR calls permalinks stable URLs) just below the journal article citation
IF students from off-campus will be accessing this URL, you MUST include a proxy.
For off-campus access, add the proxy https://proxy-lvc.klnpa.org/login?url= to the beginning of the JSTOR URL:
- https://www.jstor.org/stable/990094 will become https://proxy-lvc.klnpa.org/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/99094

ProQuest

Click on the ProQuest database from the online database list.
Search for an article.
Click on the article title.
Click on the Copy URL icon found on the upper RH corner of the full record.

ProQuest links work both on and off-campus.

You can create a permalink to searches in the library catalog.

Search the Bishop Library Catalog. Then, from the search results page, copy the URL.

You can also retrieve a permalink to the specific item record by clicking on the record title and then clicking on the permalink icon.

To link to an eBook found in the LVC catalog, click on the book title. You'll see on the book record, a link to the full-text of the eBook. Copy this link.
