Primo Smart Search Links

Most databases make persistent links easy to find, but some require a little extra effort, and a select few don't generate persistent links for you at all. The information below provides you with instructions for the PRIMO Smart Search from the Library's homepage.

The term 'Permalink' guides you to the persistent link in Gale.

  1. Search for an article.
  2. Click on an article title from the results list
  3. Top right, click on 'Permalink.'
  4. Select the link
  5. Copy and paste this URL into a syllabus, reading list, email, Canvas, or document of your choice!
