Link to a specific database in Supersearch

You can link to a Supersearch search screen for a specific database. You need to find the Supersearch resource number for the database you want to link to.

  • Go to Supersearch Find databases.
  • Browse or search to locate the database.
  • Position the cursor over the database name in Supersearch.
  • Look at the status bar at the bottom of the Internet Explorer window. The resource number is shown as part of the link. It will begin with the letters ARL.

    example: ?func=native-link&resource=ARL07717
     
  • ARL07717 is the resource number for the EBSCOhost database Academic Search Premier. The direct link to Academic Search Premier in Supersearch is:
