In order to help minimize spread of the coronavirus and protect our campus community, Cowles Library is adjusting our services, hours, and building access. Read more...
This guide provides links and information for instructors and faculty who are using Cowles Library online resources in their classes.
While created with the Online Programs in mind, all Drake instructors may use it.
A "permalink" is a link directly to an article in one of the library databases. You may create and place as many permalinks as suits your topic or class.
SUPERSEARCH
To create a permalink for a SuperSearch result, click on the title to display its summary. On the right is a link that reads "Actions". When you click on it, a list of actions will display. Select the "Permalink" option. A URL will display on the screen. Copy it and paste it into your class page or wherever it is needed.
Gale
To create a permalink in a Gale database, click on the title of the article to display its summary. At the top of its box should be a tab that reads "Permalink". Click on it, copy the link, and paste where it is needed.
EBSCO
To create a permalink in an EBSCO database, click on the title of the article to show its summary. On the right edge of the page are several tools, each with a symbol. Permalink is usually the next-to-bottom in this list.
JSTOR
In JSTOR, look for a "Stable URL" in the description of the article.
Most databases that host articles (rather than providing indexing) will have an option to create a permanent link. Look for it. If you don't find it, contact Marcia at marcia.keyser@drake.edu
You will need your Drake ID (9 digits) and your Drake password to log in to library resources. There is no separate password or card required.
