Linking to Library Resources
Best practices for sharing reliable links to Gleeson Library resources.
Permalinks
Permalinks are the easiest way to link to library resources in Canvas, course syllabi, reading lists, websites, and email. Use permalinks to link to library databases, books and videos, journals and articles. You can also use the permalinks provided in EBSCO, Gale, ProQuest, Kanopy, and O'Reilly databases to link directly to their resources.
Athenized Links
If a database lacks permalinks or the permalinks they offer aren't specific to Gleeson Library, you can add our OpenAthens proxy prefix, thereby creating your own permalinks. This is a simple process called Athenizing links.
Embedded Videos in Canvas
In addition to using permalinks to link to library resources, it's also possible to embed videos from Alexander Street and Films on Demand directly into Canvas.
