Enhance Your Courses with Library Resources

Step by step instructions for grabbing durable links so you can share articles, eBooks, streaming video and more.

Share Articles & Journals

Link to ScienceDirect articles or journals so that they can be accessed on or off campus.

On Campus Access

In ScienceDirect, when you are viewing an article, the URL in your browser address bar is a durable link, so you can just grab it to share the article on campus.

Off Campus Access

To provide off campus access, you'll need to add a prefix in front of the link so that COM students, faculty and staff can login with their COM account to see the article. You can do do it manually or Try the Link Generator, Easy! 

  1. Grab the URL from the address bar of your browser.
  2. If you want to make the resource accessible off campus (users will need to have a COM account to log in), add the EZProxy prefix directly in front of the bookmark URL with no spaces:  https://comlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=

A link accessible off campus should look like this:

https://comlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666603022000136

Try the Live Links
