Permalinks provided by Databases

Some of our databases have permalink options within their platform. There is no need to do any extra work in order to make the link work within BlackBoard or other resource lists.

Look for "share," "copy link, "get link," or other linking wording on the resource you want to reuse.

Here are some of the databases that provide ready to use links:

All EBSCO databases
Also all the links that are generated when you use the main "Find It" search box.
ALL ProQuest Databases
Look for the Copy URL icon.
All Gale Databases
Look for the "Get Link" option and copy it directly into your course readings.
