USING “PERSISTENT LINK” URLS FOR DATABASE JOURNAL
ARTICLES
Instructors & students, follow these easy steps to posting or submitting an article as part of a Moodle assignment, via email, etc.
Wil Peters, Noel Mem. Library, LSUS 2009
What are the advantages ?
Only cutting & pasting a url, not pages of html article
No bother with attaching a pdf to an email, or uploading article to a Moodle folder
How to do it ! Off-campus users have to authenticate, so the URL
for the article has to have this added piece that passes the patron through our proxy server for authentication:
http://ezproxy.lsus.edu:2048/login?url= For example, you want to create a link to the article
"Do Volunteers Deserve the Board's Attention?," which is available from Ebsco's Business Source Complete, then
the persistent URL for this article is: http://ezproxy.lsus.edu:2048/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=bth&AN=19072309&site=ehost-live **(Ebsco already includes the proxy string, but other databases may not. In that case, be sure to append it at beginning of string)
To start: search a database & select article or, use A-to-Z list to go to known journal & retrieve
article
Here are retrieved short records for a search (Recycling) done in Ebsco’s
Academic Search Complete
Once full record displayed (not the full text), then capture the persistent link url to
journal article
Also, students can grab the citation in appropriate style (MLA, APA, etc.) for
submission along with article link
