Persistent Links (ACS)


How To create persistent links to articles in ACS:

  1. Connect to ACS through the library website
  2. Find an article citation
  3. Below the title of the article, locate the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) link
  4. Copy this URL:
    • https://ezproxy.wiu.edu/login?url=
    • Example:
      • https://ezproxy.wiu.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja033644q
  5. Test! Copy/paste the new link into your browser address bar to make sure it works (remove any spaces in the URL).
