EBSCOhost | ProQuest | Elsevier ScienceDirect | JSTOR | OVID | LexisNexis Academic | Films on Demand

EBSCOhost

To link to a full text article from an EBSCOhost database, select the article from the result list and click on the "Permalink" from the right-hand tools menu:

Copy the URL from the pop-up box.  Please make sure that Murphy Library's proxy prefix (https://libweb.uwlax.edu/login?url=) begins the link so that users can connect either on or off-campus.

The full link should resemble this: https://libweb.uwlax.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=34274420&site=ehost-live&scope=site
