Direct / Persistent Linking to Electronic Resources  

This guide provides information on how you can find, edit and insert permanent links from the Library's electronic resources directly into your course pages, Word and PowerPoint documents, emails, etc.

Why do you need to do this?  Two reasons:

• First: many users access library resources from off-campus.  Using the steps in this guide ensure these resources are accessible, regardless of location. 

• Secondly: to abide by copyright rules, it is recommended that you link to specific resources, such as electronic journal articles (posting copies of  copyrighted materials online is not permitted).

Having problems finding or editing direct links? 

Contact the reference desk or your subject liaison librarian for assistance.
