Linking to Sources in Oxford Music Online (Grove Music Online)

Follow the directions below to get links to articles and image from Oxford Music Online that will work later and from off campus.

  1. From the search results page, click on the title of an article or image to view it.
  2. In the icon menu on the top right side of the screen, click the envelope icon.
  3. A URL will appear in the pop-up box. Click the Copy Link button to copy it.
  4. Are you on campus right now or are you off campus? What steps you follow next depend on where you are.
    • If You Are On Campus
      1. Paste the URL into the Off-Campus Link Generator and click Create Link.
      2. Copy the new link that appears in the bottom box. Use this address when citing this source and to return to this page in the future.
      3. Test your link! Paste the address into a new private browser window to make sure it works. We recommend you test your link again from off campus.
    • If You Are Off Campus
      1. Paste the URL into the Off-Campus Link Generator and edit it. Replace the first two dashes with periods, so that
        https://www-oxfordmusiconline-com
        becomes
        https://www.oxfordmusiconline.com
      2. After you have replaced the dashes, click Create Link.
      3. You will get a pop-up message that says, "That is a translated proxy URL and needs to be fixed. Click OK and we will fix it for you." Click OK.
      4. Copy the new link that appears in the bottom box. Use this address when citing this source and to return to this page in the future.
      5. Test your link! Paste the address into a different browser app (like Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to make sure it works. You will be prompted to log in again in the new browser window.

If you plan to post this link in D2L Brightspace, read about linking to library sources in D2L first.
