Navigate to an EBSCO database, such as CINAHL through UNB Libraries <https://lib.unb.ca/eresources?form_id=eres_databases>

Tip! Look at the left side of the database search box to see which specific EBSCO database you're searching. EBSCO databases will all look and search the same, but you generally search one of them, not all of them at once.

Type your search terms, like "nursing students AND planetary health" as an example, in the search box. Click search to retrieve search results.

Find a relevant article from the results that you want to use for your assignment and click on the title - for example "Planetary health education for nursing students: A scoping review""

Click the three vertial dots to the right of the article title to show a list of tools available for this specific article.

Click "Share" to access the permanent URL for this specific article.

When a small window opens, click "Create link" to generate the permalink.

Click "Copy to clipboard". Then paste the URL with your citation or to share this article with someone else who can access UNB resources.

Alert! Databases are only active for a period of time so if you copy the url from the top of the browser page it won't work later. This is why it's important to generate a permalink or find the article's DOI.
