If I copy a URL from an EBSCO search, can I use it later to find my article again?

Unfortunately not, those URLs are not permanent and won't help you find the article again. The good news is there are several ways you can save articles for future reference. Here are a few:

  1. Use the Permalink button to find a permanent link to your article.
  2. Email the article to yourself.
  3. Download the full PDF of the article and save it to your M:Drive.
  4. Create and login to your EBSCO account and add the article to your folder.

You can access the tools to do any of those using the tool menu to the right of the article in EBSCO. If you have any questions on these options come ask at the Reference desk and we would be happy to help.
