How to Create Full-Text Links to Tufts Library
Licensed Material
- To ensure that the Tufts community can access articles both on- and off-campus, it is necessary to construct a url that first goes to the libraries' proxy server where the Tufts UTLN/password are entered enabling authentication and login to the licensed resource.
- Below are instructions for creating full-text links to both journal articles and books from some of the Tufts Libraries licensed resources.
- For i nstructions for full-text links to additional licensed resources see Tisch Library's How to Link to Articles in Library Databases
- For help, call the HHSL Library Service Desk (617-636-6705) or email hhsl@tufts.edu.
