How do I share an article from Factiva?
Answer
If you've found something in the Factiva database, and want to send the url to someone, there are a couple of steps necessary.
- On the results screen, right click on the title of the article you want to share and copy the hyperlink.
- You will need to edit the hyperlink you just copied. Below is an example url. Delete everything after the letters "fcpil"
https://global-factiva-com.rmc.idm.oclc.org/du/article.aspx/?accessionno=BSTNGB0020201210egca000up&fcpil=en&napc=S&sa_from=&cat=a
- Your url should end with an ampersand (&). Copy the following line of text and paste it to the end after that ampersand:
xsid=S003cbsYXmnNdmnNTamN9apN96s5DByWa3w3DB94cj0WErBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUEA
- For this example, the final url will look like this:
https://global-factiva-com.rmc.idm.oclc.org/du/article.aspx/?accessionno=BSTNGB0020201210egca000up&xsid=S003cbsYXmnNdmnNTamN9apN96s5DByWa3w3DB94cj0WErBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQ
