Stable URLs

Faculty: providing your students with a stable URL for books, articles and electronic reserve items gives them fast access to the readings without having them come into the library. This guide talks about the nuts and bolts of constructing these URLs.

Stable URls for Reserve and E-Reserves

For reserve items that belong to the library, you can get a stable url using the same method you do for books in the library catalog.

For materials that are faculty property or E-reserves, the process is simply getting to the item record in the reserve system and then using the URL at the top of the browser.
