Linking to Journal Articles for Your eCollege Courses

You may link to the majority of the journal/newspaper articles and online books you find in our library databases for your eCollege syllabi, web pages, and email. 

When providing access to journal articles for off-campus users, you will need to direct the link to your chosen article through the library's EZproxy server.   Your off-campus users will be prompted for their Mikenet username and password to access the article.

Procedure:

Step 1: Copy the "persistent" link to the article from your database search.  See Persistent Linking to Journal Articles for information on how to do this.

Step 2: Use our online tool to create a url to articles for your off-campus students

Step 3: Take the url you created in Step 2 and use it for eCollege, email, or web pages

Question: How do I link to a periodical database for my off-campus students in eCollege? 

Answer: Go to the database title list, copy the database text link (or right click on the text link and choose copy shortcut) and paste into your eCollege syllabus.


Please contact your library liaison for help with linking to articles
