Do not grab the URL from the browser's address bar. Doing so virtually ensures that the link will soon become unusable.
Instead, look for a Permalink located after the article/ebook title. You can copy this URL and be confident it will work from off-campus.
If you don't see this on the article page, you look for the toolbar on the side and select the Permalink option to display it.
NOTE: you can also grab permalinks to search results, by clicking the "Share" link at the top of the search results.
