The JSTOR database provides stable URLs for specific articles or journals. If you want to access the article off campus, be sure to choose the Remote Access URL. It will begin with Camosun's proxy prefix.
For example:
https://libsecure.camosun.bc.ca:2443/login?url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/41416670
Permalinks (also called persistent links or stable URLs) point to specific articles, journals, ebooks, or search results within library research databases. They allow authorized users to access licensed resources on or off campus. Permalinks can be used within teaching materials, SharePoint, D2L, email or reference lists.
[Camosun proxy prefix] + [database URL] + [unique resource ID or search string]
https://libsecure.camosun.bc.ca:2443/login?url=https://canadacommons.ca/artifacts/1874020/spotted-owls/2623017/
*Not all databases provide persistent links in the correct format. Be sure to TEST permalinks on and off campus before sharing them! Please contact the library if you have questions.
With the August 14, 2024, launch of the updated interface for the EBSCO Discovery Service, known at Camosun as Single Search, you can say goodbye to those pesky permalinks!
Browser URLs are now stable, making it even easier to share or bookmark articles and other research resources. The new URL has the Camosun proxy prefix information already included and will start with:
https://research.ebsco.com/c/vsabqu
IMPORTANT! this only applies to Single Search URLs, not those in other EBSCO databases or external sources found through Full Text Finder links. If in doubt, ask a librarian!
