Guide to creating links to articles and other items licensed by Hofstra University Library

Library support is available with assistance in any stage of this process -- from identifying the availability of full-text, to locating and constructing a URL, or in adding links to a Blackboard site.

To create stable links to licensed e-resources that Hofstra faculty, staff, and students can access on- or off-campus, follow these steps:

Locate: Use Journal Finder to locate the article you wish to link and the database where it is included. Then use the examples below to choose the respective database and identify the article's stable URL or DOI (Digital Object Identifier). If a resource is not included in Journal Finder or ebrary, creating links to e-content is probably not possible.

Combine: Combine the Hofstra proxy prefix with the stable URL or DOI. The proxy prefix allows Hofstra faculty, staff, and students to access licensed e-resources from off-campus (using their Hofstra username and password).

https://ezproxy.hofstra.edu/login?url=

Paste: Copy and paste the hybrid URL into your documents, e-mail, or course page. The final version will have two "http://"'s, as shown below:

https://ezproxy.hofstra.edu/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true...

Please note that links to Factiva or LexisNexis are NOT PERSISTENT, i.e. (the URL for a specific article does not remain the same from day to day). Contact Sarah McCleskey, Head of Access Services, at Sarah.E.McCleskey@hofstra.edu or 516-463-5076 for assistance.

Examples for Commonly Used Databases can be found on the following pages.
