Permanent Link Generator

To ensure library resources links shared with UCA students, faculty, and staff link correctly through the library, use the link builder below. 

What is a Permanent Link?

A permanent link is a unique URL that allows you to access library resources, such as articles, ebooks, or videos, even when you are off campus. This link directs you through the UCA Library, enabling you to log in and gain full access to the materials.

If you simply copy the link from your browser's address bar, it may not function properly later or could lead to a paywall. Utilize this tool to ensure your link remains reliable for both you and anyone you share it with.

When Should You Use It?

Use this link builder when you want to:

• Save an article or an ebook to Google Drive 
• Share a source with classmates in a group project
• Add a link to a digital assignment
• Send a resource to a professor or librarian for feedback

Where to Find the Right Link

Before you paste anything here, go to the database and look for the permanent or stable link. It might be called:

• Create Link (in EBSCO)
• Copy URL (in ProQuest)

Copy that link, paste it into the box above, and click Create Link!
