Question

Q: Where can I find a permanent link to an eBook?

Answer

You can use permanent links, or "permalinks," to access an eBook from any computer.

Permalinks are stable links to items in KSU collections that can be accessed repeatedly. Web addresses for items found in the catalog and databases are tied to KSU account authentication and usually do not successfully link back to items once you exit the web browser.

Via SuperSearch or other EBSCO eBook databases

  1. On the search results page, click the three circles to the right of the book title.

Via ProQuest Central:

  1. On the ProQuest homepage, type the title in the search engine. 
  2. Once the book is selected, click on the "Copy URL" icon in the upper right-hand corner.

If you need help finding permalinks for eBooks in other databases, please ask a librarian.
