Creating Links (formerly permalinks)

Having a static link is the easiest way to link to library resources in Canvas, course syllabi, reading lists, websites, and email. A created link will consistently point to a specific library resource, such as a full-text article, e-book, e-journal, streaming video, database, or record in a database.

How to create links

There are two ways to create links within the new EBSCO interface. For both, you will want to click into the selected resource. 

1. Use the link in the address bar (Yes! This link in the address bar will bring you directly back to this resource)

 

 

2. Click on "Share" and create a link.
