Creating a persistent link:

To share a persistent link from Flipster, 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://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
