EBSCO Permalinks
The browser address bar link for any page in the updated EBSCO user interface is now a permalink. The EBSCO user interface was updated Spring 2025.
To create an EBSCO permalink that will allow off-campus access (with login):
- Log in to EBSCOhost or any EBSCO database.
- Locate an article or publication of interest. Links in the address bar now function as permalinks in EBSCO databases. Select and copy the entire address bar link.
- Paste the entire link into your document, Brightspace, webpage, or email.
- Test the link.
