Steps
a. Go to www.aacc.edu/library/ and go into the library databases. Pull up the article you need.
b. Get the persistent link by using one of these links on the page:
c. Take the URL found above and paste it into your document or web page.
2. Insert the ezproxy “prefix” below at the beginning of the URL, to enable access via library barcode for off campus users:
https://login.ezproxy.aacc.edu/login?url=
(See the "Examples" section below for examples of permalinks before and after.)
3. Check the link from an off-campus computer to be sure it works! Contact the library at library@aacc.edu if you have any questions. We can also double-check your links for you.
Basic, unchanged permalink (on-campus use only): http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=85677450&site=ehost-live
Link edited for off-campus access: https://login.ezproxy.aacc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=85677450&site=ehost-live
Incorrect link: https://login.ezproxy.aacc.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=85677450&site=ehost-live
See Note #2 under Step 2 in the section above for information on how to fix the incorrect link example.
The problem: URLs in the library’s article databases are almost always rewritten when you click on them. You might be able to copy and paste a URL and use it immediately, but an hour later the link will probably stop working.
The solution is a two-step process:
