About security and copyright

It is not necessary to protect your web page with a password to avoid copyright infringement of these articles by unauthorized users. This has already been done for you. Typing the prefix string in step #8 below guarantees that any remote user who accesses your web page and clicks on the linked article will be directed to a WEB ACCESS MANAGEMENT (WAM) screen where they will be required to authenticate by typing in their NNU Library login information (their name and NNU ID#). This is the same process that takes place anytime a remote user tries to access one of the licensed resources to which the library has subscribed .

Steps to Link

    • Select the database from the library web page at http://www.nnu.edu/academics/library/databases/
    • Conduct your search; mark the item you wish to link to.
    • Click the blue "SAVE" button at top or bottom of EBSCO screen
    • Choose "link"
    • Highlight and copy (CTRL-C) the URL given by EBSCO in the Persistent link to this record
    • Go to your web page file in FrontPage, Typo3 or blackBoard; type the text you wish to link.
    • Highlight text in FrontPage and right click. Choose "Hyperlink properties"
    • Click OK, save, and preview in browser to make sure it's working.

      Here's an example of the finished URL:

      http://0-search.ebscohost.com.librarycatalogs.nnu.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=20313232&loginpage=Login.asp&site=ehost-live&scope=site
