Creating Links to EBSCOhost Resources

In EBSCOhost databases (ex: CINAHL), the persistent links are called “permalinks.” These links will take users directly to the article. To find permalinks in EBSCOhost, follow these steps:

  1. From your search results list, click on the article title.
  2. On the right side of the page, under “Tools”, the Permalink icon appears as two interlocked loops. Click on this to generate the link.
  3. A popup box will appear with the URL. The LibLynx proxy prefix will automatically be embedded in front of the permalink in EBSCOhost databases, so there is no need to add the prefix if it is already there.
