Stable Links for Electronic Resources

This is a how-to guide for creating permanent, stable links to MSU-owned full-text articles from online journals, e-books, and streaming video or other media.

Creating Stable Links in Emerald Journals

Click on the hyperlinked title for the articleYour screen should look similar to the image below.

Scroll down until you see the URL at the end of the Citation section (see image below). The URL for this article is: https://doi-org.proxy1.cl.msu.edu/10.1108/ICT-10-2016-0069.

Since the URL includes proxy1.cl.msu.edu, this is your stable link. If this link did not include proxy1.cl.msu.eduproxy2.cl.msu.edu, or http://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url=, you would need to add http://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url= to the front of the URL for it to work correctly.

See Stable Links Tips & Tricks for troubleshooting suggestions if your stable link does not work as expected.
