Saving the link for an Archway search, a subscription database or a specific article can be tricky. Many try to copy and save the link shown in the address bar, however this is only for todays search session on this specific computer. It will not work for access later.
The solution is to use a permalink instead. Permalinks also known as permanent links are assigned to a specific book, database, database search result list and even specific articles. Using the permalink makes getting back to the resource much easier. It's a great (and legal) way to share articles with your class in moodle or have your students build a bibliography list for your review.
So how do you find a permalink? Use the above tabs to find the database you are searching for specific information on permalinks.

ECC Library uses a proxy servers to provide remote users with access to our licensed resources, such as EBSCOhost.
Those outside of our IP address must be authenticated through the proxy server. Authentication means that person meets the criteria of current ECC student, staff, or faculty and is allowed access to licensed resources.
Authentication is through name and ECC ID number, followed by "ec" . Those two pieces along with the date of current enrollment allows access.
ECC Library's WAM proxy prefix looks like this:
http://0-{resource domain}.archway.searchmobius.org/{rest of domain}
or
http://0-www.chronicle.com.archway.searchmobius.org/article/As-Reformers-Take-Aim-at/237841
The most important thing to remember is that in order for the library’s licensed resources to work off-campus, their URLs must contain the WAM proxy.
