Guide to linking to articles and other items licensed by UNC Libraries.

//:link.guide

To create stable links to licensed e-resources that UNC faculty, staff, and students can access on- or off-campus, follow these steps:

Locate: Use the E-Journal Finder to locate the article you wish to link and the database in which it exists*. Then use the drop-down list below to choose the respective database and identify the article's stable URL or DOI (What is a DOI?)

Choose database or electronic publisher:

*If a resource is not included in the database and electronic publisher choice menu, creating links to e-content may not be possible. Library support is available with assistance in any stage of this process--from identifying the availability of full-text, to locating a URL, or in linking to a Blackboard site. Contact Emily King in Reserves at reserve_reading@unc.edu or 919-962-1355 for assistance.

Combine: Combine the UNC proxy prefix with the stable URL or DOI. The proxy prefix allows UNC faculty, staff, and students to access licensed e-resources from off-campus (using their ONYEN).

http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=

Paste: Copy and paste the hybrid URL into your documents, e-mail, or course page. The final version will have two "http://"'s, as shown below:
