How to Use ProQuest Research Library

Link to ProQuest articles, journals, or videos so that they can be accessed on or off campus.

The first step is to get a durable link for the article. For most databases, the URL you see in your browser address bar is a temporary link that will not provide access to the article for other users. The durable link will provide on and off campus access.

On & Off Campus

In ProQuest you can get a durable link for articles or videos. The proxy prefix that allows off campus access is already included in option below. 

• The Copy URL in the upper right hand corner of the article page.
