Unlike the ProQuest and EBSCO databases, Gale does not automatically create persistent links. But don't worry! It's still easy to create one for your classes! In addition regardless of which Gale database you use, the method for creating persistent links remains the same.
1. Go to any of the Gale databases and search for the resource you want to link to. Once you find it, click on the title.
2. On the article display page, click on the "Get Link" icon in the top toolbar.
3.) A popup window will appear. Copy the link.
4.) Paste the URL you copied above into your document. Now add the proxy URL prefix to the beginning. The proxy URL will always be the same: https://ezproxy.library.astate.edu/login?url=
5.) The final persistent URL to the article in the example above should look like this:
