How to create Permanent links in Library Search?

When to link to the Library Search?

ONLY link to resources in the Library Search as a last resort.

To avoid students running into 'dead ends' it is advisable to only link to journal articles in the Library Search where there is a PDF available under the 'Access now' drop-down menu.

If 'Full Text Finder' is the only option displayed under 'Access now', it is better to use a permanent link found in the relevant database, rather than the Library Search.

Link to Library Search Results

Best practice is always to link directly to a resource in its specific database (including EBSCOhost databases), do NOT link to Library Search (EDS) records unless there is no other option.

• Search for the title of the item through Search Library

• Identify the required resource and click on the three dots at the right hand corner and click on Share option from the drop down menu.

• In the 'Share' dialogue box, ensure 'Share' is highlighted [1], then select create link [2], and then 'Copy to clipboard' [3]. This link is now ready to be pasted as needed.
