Linking to Electronic Resources

If you want to create a link to an electronic article, eBook, or entry from a library database that is usable both on and off-campus for your students in your D2L class, syllabus, class notes, etc., follow the instructions listed below.

Accessing Databases: You may be asked to login to the library's databases even on campus. You should always be asked to login to access an article or ebook from a library database when you are off-campus. You username is your email address (ex: absmith@sccsc.edu), and the password is your portal password.

How you create the links is based on the vendor/database provider. Please find your vendor/database below and follow the directions. If you need any assistance or are using a vendor/database that is not on he list, please contact Mary Daubenspeck.
