Persistent Linking to Articles
This section provides instructions for creating persistent links to the Library's resources. "Persistent Links" are URLs that connect users directly to a library database or article by clicking a link embedded in a webpage. Persistent links can be useful when creating syllabi, online reading lists or bibliographies and other research tools. Persistent links can assist instructors to comply with copyright rules when downloading an article from a library database and making it available through a Blackboard course or through the Library's course reserve system.
