Finding and Using Permalinks

Instructions to locate, create, and utilize permalinks for resources in K-State Libraries' databases.

Library Research Guide

Article Permalinks

When you find the resource you want to link, you can generate a permalink in two ways.

1) From the results list, select the three dots menu for the item, then select Share from the options. 

Use the item menu and select Share from the options.

2) If you clicked on the resource title, you can use the Share (shown as an arrow) option. 

Use the Share arrow icon to navigate to the permalink generation.

On the share window, Create Link is the third, and last, option given.

Once you select Create Link, a new box will appear on the same pop-up window with the permalink. You can copy it manually or use the Copy to Clipboard option displayed under the text box. 

Use the Copy to Clipboard option to copy the permalink.

You May Need to Add a Proxy to the Links From This Resource

Kansas State University Libraries’ proxy URL usually looks like this, and tends to be at the front of a URL: https://er.lib.k-state.edu/login?url= 

If you need to add the proxy prefix in front of the resource, use Link It. Link It creates accessible links to materials that are only available through K-State Libraries’ article databases or electronic journals accessed on campus.

However, be sure to test all links off-campus.

If you are unsure if a resource has the proxy URL, please Ask a Librarian.
