How do I know if a persistent link will work from outside the BU campus network?
In order for a link to an article to work from outside our campus network, it must contain special coding that will allow BU users to access the article using their Bethel Community Account. Follow these steps to determine if your persistent link will work off campus: Does the URL or link that you found have the word “ezproxy” somewhere in it? If yes, the link is ready to be saved or shared. If no, the link will need to be put into the Link Generator before you save or share it.
