I'd like to include a link to a library database in my course. How do I do that?
Answer
If you want to include a link to the library's catalog or a link to a library database, get the URL from our alphabetical list of databases.
Locate the database you are interested in by its subject, title, or type. Then right-click on the title.
Click on Copy link address in the menu that pops up and then paste it where you need it.
- Only current students, faculty and staff will be able to use these links. Clicking on them will take people first to a logon screen asking for their TC3 credentials. Using these links is compliant with copyright and license agreements.
- If you want a link to individual articles, ebooks, or streaming videos you can. Use the permalink.
Oftentimes, librarians can make a search box widget that you could embed in your web course and your students could start searching a database for library articles and ebooks directly from within your course. Ask a Librarian.
