Creating Links to full text electronic articles in BlackBoard

Most databases have a way to create a permanent url.  Often you just use the share button that looks like this .  Other times it might be called a Permalink and the icon looks like this .  You can create direct links to the full text article or to the citation.  The database should already be pointing to the EZProxy server so students can access the information from off campus.  You can tell it is pointing to Lee College's EZProxy if the url starts with http://leonardo.lee.edu/login?auth=leelearnezprozy&url=
