Teaching with E-resources

Links can be tricky, inconsistent things! When linking to a resource in your Blackboard course or syllabi, it is important that the link works outside of the campus network. This is accomplished by using proxy links. Persistent links, or permalinks, are also helpful in that they connect directly to the item and are meant to be the long-lasting link (as opposed to the long address that appears in the browser address bar).

E-Resources available through library subscriptions can be accessed on campus and off-campus, as long as you can authenticate (sign-in) with you Bronco username and password.

This guide will show you how to piece together a proxy address as well as how to find permalinks in the OneSearch catalog and individual databases.
