Linking to Articles

How to link to articles in library databases from Blackboard or your own webpages

It is possible to link directly to articles in some (not all) library databases. Methods for creating these links will vary:

  • Sometimes you can use the URL (website address) shown at the top of your web browser's window.
  • Sometimes you will have to build a link based on information an article database or journal provides.

    Many of these links will work if the student is accessing them on campus. However, when a student logs into Blackboard they are not automatically logged in to the Tufts Library system. In order to ensure that students both on and off campus are able to access your articles, it is necessary to add the following prefix at the beginning of your article link:

http://www.library.tufts.edu/ezproxy/ezproxy.asp?LOCATION=

Here is a list of some of the library databases that allow you to link directly to articles, and instructions for creating the links.

  • Although the examples on this page sometimes show the links wrapping over multiple lines, when you create your own article links, make sure that they are on one long line to prevent the links from breaking.
  • We recommend using Notepad or another text editor to create your links; Notepad is available on most PCs by clicking on the Start menu, then Programs, then Accessories. A word processor like Microsoft Word will sometimes automatically create hyperlinks every time it sees something that looks like a URL. This will create problems when splicing together these article level links with 2 or 3 different steps.

You can now create links to many fulltext articles that you find in the Your Journals@Ovid section of Ovid. For specific instructions, choose your subject area:

Occupational Therapy, Community Health, Life Sciences, Medicine

  1. Go into Your Journals@Ovid and find articles that you want to link to from your Blackboard site or your syllabus. You can either search by keyword, author or title (if you already know the article you're looking for) or by clicking on the "Browse Journals" button and looking at journals by subject.
