Articles
Linking to articles in database interfaces
1. Use Turku UAS Finna search or browse databases to find the database you need and open the database interface. Search the article you need.
2. Copy the article's address: if the article includes a permanent address such as DOI, permalink or permanent URL use it. If you cannot find the permanent address, copy the address from the browser's address bar.
3. Add Turku UAS remote access server address https://login.ezproxy.turkuamk.fi/login?url= before the permalink or the address you have copied from the address bar. By doing this the user will be redirected to Haka Login page and can access the material even outside Turku UAS network.
4. Before sharing the link, please remember to check that it works.
Example: Turku UAS remote access server address + permalink. By using this link the user will be redirected to the article automatically .
https://login.ezproxy.turkuamk.fi/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/ITSE-10-2015-0033
Please note that when creating links outside the Turku UAS network, the link includes remote access server address, so you do not need to add it.
