Sometimes the link to a resource you are trying to use is a session URL and not a permanent link.
The URL in the browser bar is not a URL you can save in order to return to an item later. Instead, you have to find the "permalink" .
The publisher usually provides a permanent link somewhere on the article information page, indicated by words such as ‘persistent URL’, ‘stable URL’, ‘infomark’, ‘permalink’, ‘document URL’, ‘durable link’, ‘linking options for this record’ or ‘DOI’.
If you stop at this stage, the URL will only be accessible from on campus. To access it from everywhere, you should create a proxied link.
For a link to work from off-campus, it has to be proxied. Proxied links will prompt you to log in.
To proxy any link, add our ‘web proxy prefix’ to the beginning of the URL.
Our web proxy prefix is: http://ezproxy.usek.edu.lb/login?url=
Unproxied link to JSTOR:
http://www.jstor.org/search
(will not work from off-campus)
