How do I link to SDCC Library Resources?

I'm an instructor and I need to link an article or video (or other Library resource) into my Canvas course.  How do I do that? 


Answer

The library guide, Linking to SDCC Library e-Resources, intends to provide you (the instructor) the steps to follow to create persistent (long-term) links to articles, eBooks, videos, and more from SDCC Library databases. See the link below. In creating links to library materials in Canvas you are effectively creating an integrated reading list so students go directly to the exact library resources you've assigned and don't have to search for them on their own.

Choose a resource from the list of databases in the navigation area of this guide to see the steps, and example link, and a screenshot of where to locate the persistent link within that database.

BEWARE that "persistent" links, sometimes called permalinks or resource URLs, may not actually be permanent. As with any database, licensing may be lost to individual items without notice, so it is best practice to check your links periodically to ensure they still connect to the items.
