Step-by-Step Instructions
- Open a plain text editor (e.g. Notepad for Windows or TextEdit for Mac). Do not use a word processor such as MS Word, as it imports extra code when you paste from it.
- Copy and paste into your plain text editor your Permalink, Stable URL, DOI link, etc.
- If it is present in the URL, remove this text: .hpu.idm.oclc.org
- Paste in front of your URL this HPU proxy prefix: https://hpu.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
That's it! You now have a durable URL customized for HPU-only access.

Example from JSTOR
You find this article in JSTOR: "Race and Poverty in America: Public Misperceptions and the American News Media." Here are the steps to convert the URL to a durable URL.
- Start with the stable URL: http://www.jstor.org.hpu.idm.oclc.org/stable/2749633
- Remove the text shown in red (if present), including the period at the beginning: http://www.jstor.org.hpu.idm.oclc.org/stable/2749633
- Now you have this link: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2749633
- Add the proxy prefix: https://hpu.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/2749633
Here is your durable URL that will work whether you are on or off campus: https://hpu.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/2749633
