ET@MO Academic Technology and Mizzou Online Liaisons: Search Results/RSS Feed

EBSCOhost Results List

Here are two ways to link to a dynamically generated, up-to-date set of database results:

  1. Create a persistent link to the desired search results, as specified below.  Each database has a different way of doing this; the method below will only work with EBSCOhost databases.
  2. Create an RSS feed of the desired search results.  This feed will be automatically updated with the latest top results, and can be read in any RSS newsreader (such as Google Reader).  Most databases have an icon similar to this or this which will let the user create a personalized RSS feed of results.  The below method works with Scopus, but the process is similar across other databases.

Copy Permalink:

  • From your search results, click the "Alert/Save/Share" button on the results menu bar.
  • Highlight and copy the persistent link near the bottom of the popup menu.

Paste the link into your content with the proxy URL

  • Follow the instructions on the front page of this guide to copy the link into your content.
  • The link should be in the following format:
