Chicago/Turabian Quick Tip - Citing Material from Databases

When you're citing material from a database and need to provide a link in the citation, don't copy the link in the address bar of your browser. 

If you're using an Ebsco database, click the link on the right side of the page labeled Permalink

If you're using a Gale database, go to the bottom of the article and look for something called the Document URL

If you are using Grove Music Online, click the Cite Link at the top right of the article.
