https://flipster.ebsco.com/reader/3622343?pageSet=0&page=0

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

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

https://flipster.ebsco.com/reader/3622343?pageSet=0&page=0 equals the new persistent link:

https://kettering.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://flipster.ebsco.com/reader/3622343?pageSet=0&page=0
