Permalinks: Direct Links to Articles and Journals
When linking to library-subscribed resources, you may need to create a customized direct link that recognizes you as a UGA user. Direct links help to resolve access issues both on and off-campus. They are useful for browser bookmarks and links to articles and other resources in eLC and class websites.
Many databases already provide UGA-authenticated links to articles. When viewing an article, look for the Permalink, Stable URL, Document URL, or simply the chain icon.
