This process will be the same for most ProQuest databases.
- Go to a ProQuest database, like ProQuest One Business, and find the article.
- In the upper right, click All Options.
- Copy the URL at the top of the pop-up window. Make sure the URL includes ".stanford.idm.oclc.org" so it will work from any location
- When not on Stanford's network/WiFi/VPN/LeanLibrary extension, you need to add the proxy-prefix. See the example below where you need to add the bold prefix so the link looks like this: https://stanford.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://www.proquest.com/magazines/world-this-week-politics/docview/2630531906/se-2?accountid=14026.
- While on Stanford's network (Stanford WiFi, VPN, LeanLibrary extension, etc.), the link you see in ProQuest likely already has the proxy "stanford.idm.oclc.org" included. Example: https://search-proquest-com.stanford.idm.oclc.org/docview/2409870300?accountid=14026
In June 2021 ABI/INFORM was upgraded to ProQuest One Business. If you previously created persistent links in the old system, they will still work!
