This guide will outline what you need to know to link to library materials using stable links that enable off-campus access.
Copying and pasting a URL from the address bar in your browser does not work all the time depending on the database. Instead look for the option to send a link or for a permalink.
Links need to include proxy information to work from off campus. A link that begins with https://stetson.idm.oclc.org/login?url= will provide access from off-campus. However, depending on the database, a permanent link may have some of the proxy information included in a different part of the URL.
One of the easiest ways to provide a link is to use the link in OneSearch. The link will bring a user to the OneSearch record for the item and the user will need to click on a link to get to the full text. Off-campus access is built into OneSearch.
