FAQ: Is there any way to find a library article again if the link I saved does not work?
It depends on whether the accession number for the article is embedded within the link. Here’s an example of a link that has an accession number or AN:
https://web.a.ebscohost.com.ezproxy.snhu.edu/ehost/detail/detail?vid=0&sid=593027ef-d35c-4d40-bc55-212928c8bea7%40sessionmgr4007&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZSZzY29wZT1zaXRl#AN=127113531&db=a2h
To find an article using the accession number you can follow these steps:
- Go to the library homepage
- Copy and paste that number (just the number, not the AN= part) into the search box and it will pull up the article.
- If you click on the title of the article, you will see the Accession Number field and you can confirm that you have the right article.
If your link does not have an accession number or its equivalent, it will be very difficult to track down your article again unless you remember the article title or author.
Please reach out to a librarian if you need additional assistance tracking down an article. You can email us at ask@snhu.libanswers.com or chat with a librarian 24/7 from our library homepage.
