If Saving Permanent Links for Licensed Resources (JSTOR, EBSCO, Wiley, etc.) on Campus:
If saving permanent Links on campus for licensed resources you need to add a proxy prefix to the URL, allowing authentication, to guarantee remote access because if the embedded proxy information is not contained in their saved links you will have problems opening these persistent links off-campus. With the following formula, remote users will be able to access any “saved citations” or “persistent links” :
Saved Citation URL from Ebsco User Permalink functionality):
http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=53843757&site=ehost-live
Proxy Service Preface URL:
http://ezproxy.gc.cuny.edu/login?url=
When working off-campus the student can access the saved citation content by combining these two URLs into:
