How to Bookmark an E-Journal Article
This section describes how to select the appropriate URL to use to link directly to an article. Faculty can post links on course Web pages for direct access to assigned online articles. Researchers can bookmark online articles in their browsers for repeated access.
Electronic Journal Center
Articles from the OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center have URLs that start "journals.ohiolink.edu". The page that contains an article citation and abstract can be bookmarked. Example: http://journals.ohiolink.edu/ejc/article.cgi?issn=10823301&issue=v34i0002&article=169_srarstcfpa
You may post the EJC URL on any Web page. OhioLINK software limits access to authorized users. If the user is on campus, his IP address permits access. If the user is off campus, the system will prompt the user to log in.
EBSCO Databases
Articles from EBSCO databases have URLs that start "search.ebscohost.com". The page that contains an article citation and abstract carries a line labeled Persistent link to this record which can be copied and pasted. To capture links for several articles, add the articles to a Folder , then E-mail or Save from the folder page.
Example URL for on-campus access: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=24476964&site=ehost-live
For access from off-campus , the URL needs to include a "proxy" to permit logging in for access to the article.
Lourdes patrons have a choice of either of the following proxy links to add before an article url: http://login.lc.opal-libraries.org/login?url= (this prompts for last name and barcode)
OR http://proxy.ohiolink.edu:9099/login?url= (this prompts for institution, name and barcode)
Example using an institutional proxy: http://login.lc.opallibraries.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=24476964&site=ehost-live
Example using OhioLINK proxy (first prompts for institution, name, and ID number): http://proxy.ohiolink.edu:9099/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=24476964&s ite=ehost-live
FYI: combine the two URLS (proxy and persistent link) as text only then hyperlink as one string.
Also, To use the URL as a bookmark from the OPAL catalog first click on permanent link at bottom of page. Then copy and paste URL from top.
