Durable Links to Online Resources

This is a guide to creating links to full-text journal articles and e-texts which are part of the electronic collections of AUD Library. Durable links consistently deliver unbroken access to an article, book, or journal provided by AUD Library regardless

Do permanent links ever expire?

  • Yes, permanent links do occasionally expire when vendors make changes to URLs in their databases.
  • If faculty are using permanent links in their Blackboard courses, they should check the links each semester before teaching their courses to make sure the links are still working.
  • If a link has stopped working, faculty can use EBSCO's Full Text Publications Finder to locate the article and find a new link.
  • If you are having trouble fixing the link or finding the article, please contact the library for assistance.
