During this process you will need at least three windows open. One window will contain this guide, one will be used to locate your article and the last will contain your course page.

Can't find the article? Contact us at 495-1302 or ksg_library_questions@harvard.edu
Decide which database to use
Citation Linker will open a list of databases to choose from. Links from EBSCO databases such as Academic Search Premier and Business Source Complete are preferred so that cross-registered students can access those articles from home.
If EBSCO isn't in the list of databases, choose from one of the other databases in Step 3.
Locate the permanent link to the article
Now that you have chosen a database, click on the name below to view the relevant instructions.

down until you find the label, "Persistent Link to this record".

have a piece of software on them that tells EBSCO that the user
is an approved affiliate of Harvard.
