19. Link to Journals and Magazines
Two ways:
Journals A-Z or Magazines A-Z – use the Capture Citation or URL on SFX/Find It menu
Publication record in the database (e.g., Academic Search Complete, MasterFILE Elite, or MAS Ultra) for some vendors

20. Link to Journals and Magazines
Through Journals A-Z or Magazines A-Z, use the Capture Citation or URL link at the bottom of the SFX/Find It menu
Best to use the SFX link when you have a title with coverage in several databases
If we have turned on GLRI databases in SFX, these will come up in a Journals A-Z search

21. Link to Journals and Magazines
Publication record in the database (e.g., Academic Search Complete, MasterFILE Elite, or MAS Ultra) for some vendors
Can use the link from the database when you have coverage in only one database or two databases with the same coverage because the link from the publication record requires fewer clicks for the user

22. Link to Journals and Magazines
Publication record in the database (e.g., Academic Search Complete, MasterFILE Elite, or MAS Ultra) for some vendors
Freebie tip: You can create an alert to receive notifications when a new issue of a magazines or journal is added to a database. You can do this in EBSCO and in ProQuest.

23. Link to Articles
Use the persistent link in the article’s citation information
Permalink in EBSCO databases (e.g., MAS Ultra, MasterFILE Elite, Academic Search Complete) or in discovery searches
Document URL in ProQuest (e.g., Research Library)
Link in the preformatted citation in Britannica resources
Persistent Link or Bookmark in Digital Library of Georgia
