How do I find a stable permanent link to LMU e-resources? How can I make sure students can access this article or e-book off-campus?
Creating stable links to library resources --
Most of the library's e-resources are set up to work automatically on-campus, but off-campus links must be correctly configured so that students and faculty are prompted to sign in with their MyLMU information off-campus. This guide will cover how to find or create these links from different databases.EBSCOhost databases
(Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, ERIC, etc.)EBSCOhost offers a "Permalink" option for most records, which is a stable link that works off-campus.
OneSearch:
Copy the Permalink to your clipboard after you are in the item record.
Other databases: You can fix the link by adding a snippet of text to the beginning of the stable link or DOI.
The snippet is: http://electra.lmu.edu:2048/login?url=
