Search GC Full Text Journals for Persistent URL

Links to articles from GC library databases require a prefix for our GC library proxy server to allow off-campus access, plus a persistent URL.

Each persistent url should be preceeded by http://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/login?url= in order for the proxy server to prompt off-campus users to enter a GC network userid/pwd. 

To find a persistent URL for GC journal articles:

  1. enter journal title in search box under Full Text Journals and follow link to article full text; browse or search database as necessary. If journal title is abbreviated, check 2nd floor library reference "Periodical Title Abbreviations" book.
  2. if article full text found, find the persistent URL to the journal article and copy (cntl-C)
