Creating Persistent Links for Articles & Other  Online Database Materials

Home > Resources > Blackboard Library Services > Creating Persistent Links for Articles & Other Online Database Materials


Follow the directions below to set up persistent links to articles and other materials from the Library's online databases. For some databases, the persistent link does not go directly to the full text of an article. Please instruct your students to click on the full text link to access the article. Also if students access the articles off campus, they must log in. If you need additional assistance, contact Barbara Hightower at 244-3994 (bhighto1@aum.edu).

Please include a statement indicating that the articles and other materials to which you link are from the Library's databases. Access to these databases is supported by the students' technology fees.
