Continuity of Learning Services at Sawyer library: Library Links in Blackboard

This guide provides information about the Library's online services for faculty, staff and students during the Covid-19 disruptions.

Creating Links to Library Online Materials for Class Readings

 

Providing stable links to resources within your online course platform is the best practice method for connecting students with specific digital material you want them to view. Generally, it is fairly easy to create a stable link (often called a PURL, or Persistent URL) for articles, entries, and chapters found in Sawyer Library databases. However, each database will approach this a bit differently. Please see the linked guide below, which steps you through that process with examples for multiple databases.
