Making Persistent Links to Articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education

  1.  Perform a search in the database.
     
  2. To link to an item you are interested in, copy the URL that appears in the address bar at the top of the window.

 

Where to find the article URL in a Chronicle of Higher Education database record

 

  1. Copy the link and paste it into Notepad or similar text-only editor.
     
  2. Add the MCC Library EZproxy prefix https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url=

Example:

https://ezproxy.monroecc.edu/login?url=https://www.chronicle.com/article/ElsevierCarnegie-Mellon/247603?cid=wcontentlist_hp_latest
 

  1. To add this proxied link to Brightspace go to the Creating Persistent Links to Library Resources in Brightspace Courses page. It provides instructions on how to set-up a persistent link as a web link in a Brightspace Learning Module.
     
  2. Check the link from off-campus to make sure it works from outside the MCC campus network.
