Because a publisher's link to a resource can sometimes change, a persistent link will ensure that students get to the right electronic source quickly, from both on and off campus. Many publishers create a persistent link to content. For those that don't, you are free to create a direct link yourself, although there are good reasons to have the Library do it for you. It will save you time. Library staff will send you the persistent link, which you may incorporate into Moodle. They will also ensure that authentication is taken care of so that your students can access the resources through the reserve readings list for the class in the Library's catalogue.

For more information on how to prepare a persistent link, see the guide on how to create reliable links to articles in library subscribed databases.
