How do I link to articles on SAM?
Ebsco databases provide a button called "Permalink" on the right side of the screen when you are in the article for you to copy and paste into SAM. When using the permalink, students can access this article from anywhere. You cannot use the URL in the browser's address box on top because it will send students to an error page.
For articles from other restricted Holland College Library databases, you may need to copy the following base URL to the beginning of the URL (please not that it is https not http). First look for a share or bookmark link that should have this base URL included. If not, then add it to the beginning. Please check with library staff if you have any questions.
https://rpa.hollandcollege.com:2050/login?url=
Please note that you are NOT allowed to upload the PDF files of the articles into SAM. You can only add links to the articles.
CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries
CHOICE is a good source for book reviews. Click on the link above. In the SEARCH WITHIN PUBLICATION box on the right, search for the topic of interest or a specific book title. Next, click on the Magazines link in the SHOWING RESULTS FOR section on the top of the search results list and Sort by Newest. There is a 180-day embargo by the publisher so Book Reviews published within the last six months will be unavailable: It will say "Citation Only."
Use the search box below when there are problems searching the main library search box (on-campus only)
This search box returns Ebsco articles in HTML format as well as PDF (if available). The HTML format allows you to listen to the article. You can also download the article as an MP3.
The Gale Power Search returns results from all three library Gale databases and all articles have text-to-speech.
