Rave URLs

Resources hosted at OhioLINK — e-journals, e-books, and electronic theses and dissertations — are accessed by "rave" URLs. A rave URL serves three important functions:

• it is persistent — even if the OhioLINK host server changes, the resource address remains the same
• it works both on-campus and off-campus — an off-campus user trying to access the resource is first prompted to authenticate
• it is session-independent (whereas a URL with an embedded sessionID is valid for a only limited period of time)

When cataloging an electronic resource or posting a link on your library's Web site, use only the rave URL. If you first connect to the resource and then copy its address from your browser, the URL may not work for anyone else. The rave URL is also known as the 'permalink'.
