Linking to Library Resources

Before making links to individual articles from your course pages or elsewhere, please be aware that the library would like to list these readings in the Library Reserves section of the online catalog. This will assist students in finding ALL of the readings for their class in one place. You may request the addition of these links by filling out the Electronic Reserve Request form. For more information contact Phyllis McQuaide, xx3173 in the Hawthorne-Longfellow library.

MAKING LINKS TO JOURNAL ARTICLES

When you find an article in an online database, the URL that appears in your browser navigation bar may not be valid after you close the browser window. A Stable URL must be determined to provide long term linking to an article. Each database and/or vendor has a slightly different presentation and format of these URLs, which are sometimes also referred to as Durable or Persistent. Instructions for determining the Stable URL of an article from the most frequently referenced resources are linked to the database icons below.

Ensuring off campus access is a second consideration in linking journal articles. This is accomplished by prepending proxy server information to the URL link to make it Complete. A Complete URL results in a browser prompt for user name and password when necessary. The general form of the proxy server prefix for Bowdoin is:
http://academic.bowdoin.edu:9000/login?url=
If you have accessed a resource from off campus, the proxy information will already be contained in the URL. On campus, whether or not the URL is complete depends on the vendor. If the Stable URL listed with the resource begins with some form of this prefix, the URL is complete. Otherwise, the proxy server prefix must be prepended for off campus access to be granted.

Example Link (The full link would be on one line. Here it is on multiple lines for display only):

The HTML to include a link to this article by title in a web page is (As above, the full link should be on one line, without breaks in the code.):

<a href="http://academic.bowdoin.edu:9000/login?url=
     http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=
     0161-391X%28193212%2919%3A3%3C331%3AOPATFN%3E2.0.CO%3B2-I">
     Oliver Pollock and the Free Navigation of the Mississippi River</a>

Specific Steps to Create Journal Article Links:

  • First locate the journal article to which you wish to link. Note the source database of the journal. (If you would like to know which database contains the full text of a journal, do a journal search in the library catalog, and note the "Full text available from" line.)
  • Once you have determined the source database, follow the vendor specific directions from the list below. If the source database is not on this list, contact Sara Amato in the H-L Library for further assistance.

ebsco logo   PsycArticles logo


MetaPress

  • Choose "Linking Options" below page numbers.
  • From that page, copy the full URL below "MetaPress Direct Linking".
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
 

JSTOR

  • Copy the link (full URL) as it appears following "Stable URL".
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
  image: stable image


EBSCO host
(Academic Search premier, Business Source Premier, Health Source: Consumer Edition and Nursing/Academic Edition, MasterFILE Premier.)

  • Copy the link (full URL) as it appears at the bottom of the page following "URL:".
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
  image: stable link


LexisNexis Academic & Congressional

  • At present, LexisNexis does not provide the ability to create a Stable URL. If you need to connect to an article in LexisNexis, please contact Mike McDermott (x3856) or Sara Amato in the Hawthorne-Longfellow library for assistance
  • Alternatively you could provide the following URL:
    http://library.bowdoin.edu/erl/ip/lexis.cgi
    as well as a detailed list of terms to complete the Guided News Search form which will ensure that the resource can be accessed.
  image: stable image


ProQuest

  • Copy the link (full URL) as it appears following "Document URL" when viewing an abstract.
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
  image: stable link


IngentaConnect

  • 5 minimum metadata elements need to be added to the base ingenta URL -
    http://openurl.ingenta.com/
       content?genre=article...:
    ISSN (&issn=)
    Volume (&volume=)
    Issue (&issue=)
    Start page of article (&spage=)
    End page of article (&epage=)
  • The 8-digit ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) is found by opening the link to the journal title.
  • The four remaining metadata elements are available from the record for the article.
  • The resulting URL is not complete, so Bowdoin Library proxy server information must be prepended.
  image: stable link


ProjectMUSE

  • Most articles in ProjectMUSE can be linked as HTML files or as a PDF.
  • The URL in the navigation bar is a Stable URL for the HTML version.
  • The Stable URL for the PDF version is accessed by right click (PC) or 'ctrl' + click (MAC) and choosing "Copy Link Location".
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
  image: stable link


APA PsycARTICLES

  • The URL in the navigation bar is stable.
  • Prepend proxy server information if it is not present.
  image: stable link



MAKING LINKS TO INDEXES AND DATABASES

To make links to the library's subscription databases it is best to use the URLs below. This assures that the URL is stable, and is accessible from both on and off campus.

MAKING LINKS TO THE LIBRARY CATALOG

It is possible to make links to the results of queries in the Library Catalog. For example, you could make a link to a list of English/Spanish Dictionaries.

You can link to searches in Phebe based on any indexed field, e.g., subject, title, author, etc. All searches begin with http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/ followed by the indexed tag, a question mark, and the search terms, separated by a "+" sign where you would normally use a space. For word searches, a sort order must also be added. All searches most also have a search scope. see examples below.

Search Index Index Tag
Author a
Title t
Subject d
Word X
Call Number c
Government Document Number g

Below are a few examples.

Author Search: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/a?king, stephen&searchscope=1

Subject: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/d?horror+films&searchscope=1

Title: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/t?bat+whispers&searchscope=1

Word: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/X?toxic+waste&SORT=D&searchscope=1 (sorted by Date)
Word: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/X?toxic+waste&SORT=R&searchscope=1 (sorted by Relevance)
Word: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/X?toxic+waste&SORT=A&searchscope=1 (sorted Alphabetically)

NOTE: For title searches, it may actually be easier to link directly to the record by its OCLC number rather than by the title words. For example, the following link would also take you to the title Bat Whispers, via an OCLC number search: http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/search/o?40464182&searchscope=1 . To determine the OCLC number of a record, find the title, choose Marc Display, and take the number from the 001 field, which is listed at the top.

MAKING LINKS TO EBRARY (e-books)

Link to a title:

Connect to the title from the library catalog. Cut and paste the url from the browser location bar (e.g., the resulting url is permanent).

Link to a page in a book:

When viewing the page you wish to link to, go to the InfoTools menu and select Copy Bookmark. This copies the link to the clipboard and you may paste it into any document.

FURTHER ASSISTANCE

For more information or assistance in creating links to library resources, please contact Mike McDermott (mmcderm2@bowdoin.edu; 725-3856) in the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library.
