Creating a persistent link:

To share a persistent link from ACS, you will need to add Kettering University's proxy to ensure all users both on and off campus can access it.

To do so, first, copy the URL from the search bar for the resource you wish to share, which in this case is:

https://pubs-acs-org.kettering.idm.oclc.org/doi/book/10.1021/acs.infocus.7e4001

Next, add Kettering University's proxy BEFORE the URL as shown below:

https://kettering.idm.oclc.org/login?url= added to

https://pubs-acs-org.kettering.idm.oclc.org/doi/book/10.1021/acs.infocus.7e4001 equals the new persistent link:

https://kettering.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://pubs-acs-org.kettering.idm.oclc.org/doi/book/10.1021/acs.infocus.7e4001
