How to Locate Persistent URLs

A persistent URL or link is a web address that consistently points to a specific information source such as an article in a full-text library database. This page was created to make it easier to locate or create persistent links using Pardee Library databases. Faculty may wish to attach persistent URLs to their syllabus page on Questrom Tools to create links to articles for assigned class readings.

Not sure which database contains the publication that you need? Go to the eJournals page.

If you run across any links that do not have .ezproxy.bu.edu in the address, please consult Creating EZproxy Web Links from Information Services & Technology.

If you have questions, or need assistance, please contact us.
