Faculty Resources

Information on this page can be used as a general guide for adding a variety of library resource links to course content or D2L. Always feel free to contact your subject librarian or the Electronic Resources Technician for more help.

Linking to content means copy and pasting a persistent URL for a specific resource.

Embedding content means copy and pasting code for a specific resource.

To provide database specific links, select the Share icon to the right of the database name. 

Then select the Copy Link to Clipboard link and paste into your course or other content.

When linking to an article from a library database or journal subscription, you will need a stable, permanent or persistent link. This link makes sure that students can access the article from off-campus. The links are located differently in each resource.

If you are not sure if your link is a stable or permanent link, visit https://go.openathens.net/generate/wcupa.edu/70664370 to generate a persistent link. Then copy the generated link to your course.

Linking to streaming content works much the same way as linking to articles. You will also need the stable, permanent, or persistent link.

• To link to streaming content, copy and paste the URL from the "Embed/Link" Icon.
• To embed streaming content, copy and past the code from the "Embed/Link Icon.

You will need the stable/persistent link to the title of the book and can find this in the same way as an article. In some cases, like Oxford Handbooks, you will need to email yourself a link to the title first and then copy and paste that link into your content.
