How do I create a permanent URL to an article or library resource?

The URL I pasted from my browser window does not work from off campus or for other people. How do I create a URL that will last and work from on or off campus?

Answer

Resources that the library pays for require authentication. They can only be accessed by UT-Tyler students, faculty, and staff. For this reason

Tip #1: Look for a Permanent Link, Permalink, Stable URL or Persistent URL on the catalog record page.

Tip #2: Create a Permalink through OpenAthens Link Generator.

Tip #3: Test It!
