How to share a link to an article with your students and collaborators

Sharing links to articles within Concordia

To successfully share a link, the address must be “permanent”, “stable” or “persistent”. Unlike most other links, permanent links remain active and useable over time. For free e-resources, only the publisher’s permanent link needs to be used.

When Concordia Library subscribes to electronic resources, publishers recognize the web address of Concordia University as one that can have legitimate access to these resources. While in the library or anywhere else on campus, access to Library subscribed resources is seamless. Off-campus access, however, requires adding the Concordia web address to the address of the resource. This serves as a “proxy” to allow you access to Concordia e-resources and will prompt authentication with your Concordia netname.
