Linking to Library Resources //
Most of the Libraries' online resources allow you to create permanent links to specific articles, images, ebooks, videos, songs, etc. You may email these links to your students or post them on Digication or any other course website.
Off-campus access
Access to the Libraries' subscription resources is limited to members of the UArts community. If you are using the online resources from within the University's campus, you should be able to access them directly. However if you are off campus, you will be asked to log in to a University Libraries authentication page with your UArts login and password.
For direct links into the Libraries' online resources to work for everyone, both on and off campus, they must be configured to work with the Libraries' "proxy" system. Most, but not all, databases create off-campus friendly links.
Will my link work off-campus?
If the URL (after the "http://") begins with "0-" then yes, your link should work. If the link does not, use the tool below to convert it to an off-campus friendly form.
