Recommended Database-Specific Linking

For the resources listed below, use the resource’s individual platform, rather than OneSearch, to create permalinks.

  • EBSCOhost databases
  • Artstor (on JSTOR)
  • Gale Databases (Literature Resource Center, Opposing Viewpoints)
  • CQ Researcher
  • Proquest Ebook Central
  • Statista

Instructions for these are available on the tabs below.

Please direct any questions to Bill Meloy and Monica Ruane Rogers.

Artstor Transition to JSTOR

  • Artstor is phasing out its stand-alone interface, though it will remain operational through August 1, 2024. We recommend using Artstor (on JSTOR). See The Artstor experience on JSTOR for more information.
  • While we recommend using Artstor (on JSTOR), you may access the Artstor classic interface here or, if you have an existing personal account, you may log in directly at https://library.artstor.org. The classic Artstor interface will be available through July 31, 2024.

Copy your Artstor saved images (groups) to Artstor (on JSTOR)

  • If you have a personal Arstor account, you may wish to copy your saved images onto JSTOR. To do so, go to https://www.jstor.org/copygroups/, click "Get Started", and follow the instructions.
  • Note: After you move your Artstor images to JSTOR, your Artstor account on the JSTOR and the stand-alone Artstor interface will not synch automatically. You can repeat the “copy groups” process though. 

Update your Artstor/JSTOR email. 

Is your Artstor account associated with your @calu.edu email (or another email you wish to switch)? If so, send an email to support@artstor.org with the following text:

Please update my Artstor account to my new email address.
