Problem: Web addresses or URL's that were copied from address bar in Ebsco or other online resources don't work when trying to return to resource

The web address (URL) in the address bar will not work on return visits due to the security software used. Instead of using the web address shown in the browser's address bar, look at the article's citation page for the Persistent Link or Permanent Link.

Why does this happen?

Many of the online resources provided by Del Mar College Library are restricted to DMC users because of agreements with the resource vendors. DMC must pay significant subscription fees to provide access to the online resource and agrees not to allow unauthorized access to the information.

Many of the online resource vendors include Persistent Link or Permanent Link information to access the desired article.
