How do I create a permalink for a CQ Researcher Report?

I am using the Document URL found at the bottom of the report, but it isn't letting me see the full report when I am off-campus. What do I do? 


Answer

CQ Researcher works a little differently than some of our other databases, so there are two different ways to make sure you have a good permalink that will work both on-campus and off-campus.

From off-campus: You can use the URL found in the Address Bar for the report

  • You must use the off-campus link because when you go to a database from off-campus it runs through our authentication system Ezproxy, which causes the URL to change. When on-campus, the authentication system is by-passed and the URL won't include any of the necessary identifying information for FCC. 

From On-Campus: You will need to create a new URL in order to link directly to a CQ Researcher Report. 

  • The first part of your new URL will be:
    •  https://library-cqpress-com.frederick.idm.oclc.org/cqresearcher/
  • The second part of your new URL will be everything after cqresearcher/ in the address bar URL for the report. The bolded part of the URL below is what you will need: 
    • https://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/document.php?id=cqresrre2017120800
  • Now combine those two parts so the new URL will be: 

Tip! Combine the URLs using Notepad if you have a PC. This will remove any link formatting and make it much easier to make the changes. Then when you copy the new final URL everything will be combined and linked correctly.
