You can access all databases and database content on or off campus. However, if you have saved a page or a link to a page in a database, as you can on an ordinary web site, you won't be able to access later for two reasons:
- Durable URLs
The pages you see in databases are not durable links, but temporary pages generated by your search. Once your search session has ended, the URL of any page you viewed will no longer work. - Proxy Server
The way that databases and their content can be accessed off campus are through a proxy server on campus. In order to make durable links to databases and their content work off campus, a prefix has to be added in front of a URL.
How can you get around this in EBSCO?
EBSCO has several ways to share.
Share via Permalink
You can share articles. journals, eBooks and search results from EBSCO using the permalink option.
- On the article/journal/eBook/search result page, look for the permalink icon to open a permalink window above the record or article (or eBook)
- Copy the URL and send to yourself or others. Please note the link will require the recipient to login to access.
Share via E-Mail Tool
You can email EBSCOhost articles and eBooks to yourself and others using the E-Mail tool.
- Click E-mail on the article/eBook page.
- When the email box pops up above the article/eBook, enter your email address.
- If you'd like to send to more than one person, use a semicolon between each e-mail address. (name1@address.com; name2@address2.com) Select the citation format you'll be using from the drop-down list.
- Click Send.

What if there is no alert/save/share next to the search bar?by Bryson on Mar 24, 2016

There is a Share button with a black arrow above the first article result, towards the right. Click that to access a menu. To copy and paste the Persistent link to the search, click in the box with the URL to highlight, then copy and paste it into a document, email, etc. It's the last option in the menu that appears.by Erin McDaniel on Mar 28, 2016
