Online Journals – How to Create a Link

---

Link to the Find it @ UT menu for your preferred journal. Students will have to enter their UT EID if they are off campus.

Why we recommend linking to the Find it @ UT menu:
Publishers frequently change their URLs without advanced notice. By linking to the Find it @ UT menu, your students will always be able to find the journal you are assigning regardless of publisher URL changes.

Example: Journal of Cold War Studies

1. Go to the Find a Journal web page.



2. Find your journal from the alphabetical list, or do a title search.



3. A window will open which provides all the online avenues for finding this journal.
   
   



4. Use the URL for the Find it @ UT menu. To find this URL, click on Other Access Options.
   
   



5. Click on Save Citation Information. This will generate a stable URL.
   
   



6. Copy and paste the resulting URL into your course page.
   
   



7. When students click on this URL, they will be shown the Find it @ UT menu. You will need to provide them with citation information to find any specific articles.
