Persistent Links

Learn how to create persistent links to articles in BGSU library databases that will work from on or off campus.

Databases where URL is the Persistent Link

  • EBSCO
  • JSTOR
  • Naxos Music Library
  • Project Muse
  • Oxford Music Online
  • ProQuest (Includes Global Newsstream, Vogue, New York Times Historical)
  • PubMed Central

For these databases, just copy the URL in the address bar as it is a permanent link

Not sure if the URL in the browser bar is persistent or not?  

1. Look in the database record for a link or icon that indicates it's a permanent link.  It might mention permalink or persistent URL or something like 'Get a Link'. 

2. Test the URL.   Copy the URL in the address bar, paste it into another browser and see if it takes you to the correct article.  If it does, it is probably a permanent link.
