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.

Create Stable Links for Alexander Street Press

To comply with copyright and meet licensing agreements, you must use a stable link to share streaming media. Do not embed a video directly into D2L or a course-related website. 

  1. Click on the Share option (see image below).
  2. Click on the Copy button for the link under Via permalink (see image below).
  3. Since this URL includes https://ezproxy.msu.edu/login?url=, this is your stable link.
  4. See Stable Links Tips & Tricks for troubleshooting suggestions if your stable link does not work as expected.
