The library's eBooks, database articles, and video collections are reliable and accessible resources that you can add to your course content. The best way to add our resources into Brightspace is by including a link to the source for students to use. The library's resources use permalinks (or permanent links) to ensure reliable access. See the instructions below on how to find permalinks in our resources.
Permalinks, also known as persistent links, PURLs or stable URLs, are permanently attached to the document and are intended to remain unchanged for years.
On many websites, you can copy the URL; however, the library's resources work a bit differently because they require you to log in before accessing the content. Failing to use a permalink in these circumstances may often result in the link breaking and leave you with an error saying the page is no longer available.
Using permalinks is the best practice. Due to licensing restrictions, some resources can be uploaded while others cannot. Check with your library staff for specific information.
Our article, eBook and video collections keep track of which resources are being used and how often they are accessed. We use this information when making purchasing decisions. Let us know when a specific resource is important to you!
Statistics are also used in making decisions on the location of resources on our website. This allows you to get the most out of our website.
Your permalink should look like:
