If you want to save an article you find in the library's databases for later use, or to share on a class message board (referred to as a shared link), copying the link from the address bar does not always work. This page explains
The easiest way to check whether the link to a library resource which you copied will work in the future is to open a different browser and paste the link into the address bar. If the link takes you to the item you copied it from, then it should continue to work in the future. If it doesn't work, go back to the original page you were on and look for a valid link. For instructions on how to find the proper link for resources in EBSCO databases, scroll down on this page.
If you are unable to find a proper shared link, use the chat box to contact the library and a librarian can help you identify the shared link.
Many of the library's resources are available through EBSCO databases. You can tell if you are using an EBSCO database by either of the following methods:
For EBSCO databases, you should be able to copy the link from the address bar at the top of the browser and save/share the link for later use. However, EBSCO recommends using the permalink for sharing to be sure that the link will work in the future.
To find the permalink, look for the "share" icon (which looks like an arrow) and then select "create link" to generate a permalink you can use for future use.
On the results page, you can find the share link by clicking on the three dots (the tools menu) on the right side of the results box.
On the article page the share link is in the upper right.
If you have a full citation for an article, you can use Journal Finder to find it through the library by typing the journal title in the search box and then searching for the article or looking for the specific issue:
For information on how to use the Library's journals page, see the video below on "Searching for Journals at the Library."
Another way you can find articles in the library's databases is through Google Scholar. To customize Google Scholar, find Franklin University in the settings by searching in the Library Links area. You will still need to log in to access e-books and databases when off-campus.
To find an article using Google Scholar, you can type the article's title in the search bar. Click on the "Read@Franklin University" link to open the article using the Franklin University Library's databases.
For more information on using Google Scholar, see the video below .
The Franklin University Library subscribes to a service called LibKey which lets you search for articles by DOI. Use the link below to go to the LibKey DOI search site, and enter the DOI in the search bar.
