Linking to Articles, Videos, etc.

Linking to Library Articles

Want to share an online article with your students?

For most databases, you can't simply copy the URL of the page. You need to take a few extra steps to make sure your students can get to the article you want them to read.

Use the guide below to create permanent links to articles from library databases. Post the links in Desire2Learn, online, or email them. If you follow the steps below, the links will work everywhere!

Library Prefix

You will need to add the Library Prefix to most of the links. Here's the Library Prefix for easy copy and pasting:
