Q. How do I link to library resources?

A link to an article in one of the library's databases could be unique to the one session in which you searched for that article. Since databases create their links at the moment you access the link, the next time you try to use that link it may be invalid. In order for you to create a link to an article, chapter or other resource for use in HTML pages, emails or D2L, you need to create a persistent link. Persistent links or durable links are URLs that remain consistent and do not change.

Where can I get help?
