Linking to Library Resources

Whether you are linking library materials in Brightspace or in an email to your students, it is important to use what's called a permalink. Permalinks, aka permanent links, stable URLs, or stable links, ensure that when students use the link, they will be taken to the exact webpage or resource that you intended. Permalinks also provide access to a subscription resource when a user is off-campus.  Using permalinks is different than copying and pasting the URL from the address bar of your browser; those URLs can change and potentially send students to the wrong place. See the guides below on how to locate permalinks in library resources.

If you can't find a permalink for a specific resource, email us with as much information as possible about the item [a full citation if possible], and we will create a permanent link to the resource.
