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 SAGE

  1. Copy the URL in the address bar from the full-text view of the article.  For the article below, this is https://journals-sagepub-com.proxy2.cl.msu.edu/doi/epdf/10.1177/1532708608321573.
  2. Since this URL includes proxy2.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.
  3. See Stable Links Tips & Tricks for troubleshooting suggestions if your stable link does not work as expected.
