Q. How do I share articles from Factiva?

When emailing articles from Factiva, both the proxy URL and a special XSID string must be added to the URL to allow it to work on or off campus.

1. Search for the article or journal in Factiva.
2. From the Search results page, hover over the Search menu and select Direct Link.
3. Copy the link and append our xsid to the end of the URL:
   • xsid=S002szr3G7jZXRr5DEs5DEmMpEvNTIqMTJyMHmnRsIuMcNG1pRRQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQQA
4. Add the proxy link to the beginning of the URL:
   • https://login.proxy.libraries.smu.edu/login?url=

Example for linking to the English edition of El Pais:

https://login.proxy.libraries.smu.edu/login?url=https://global.factiva.com/en/du/headlines.asp?napc=S&searchText=rst%3dpaise&sortBy=y&searchLanguage=custom&searchLang=EN&dedupe=1&srchuiver=2&accountid=9SOU000900&namespace=16&xsid=S002szr3G7jZXRr5DEs5DEmMpEvNTIqMTJyMHmnRsIuMcNG1pRRQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQUFBQQA
