Here's an easy way to add links to library database content into your Moodle/Brightspace courses. As an added bonus using these links helps keep you in compliance with copyright law and database licenses, as well as provides the library with accurate journal use statistics for renewal decisions in a way that downloading full text articles from databases and then uploading them into your Moodle/Brightspace courses does not.
All databases should provide you with a permanent URL that will link back to the article. You should not use the URL located in your browser bar as this is often a temporary link that will not load properly if you try to reuse it. The following are examples of where you can find the permanent links in some of our most popular databases. If you need assistance finding the permanent link in another database please contact the Research and Instruction desk.
Note: Some publications, such as The Harvard Business Review, do not permit us to include permanent links on course management systems without paying an additional fee. Please contact us if you encounter that problem.
For Sage Journals the url located in you browser bar is the permalink.
Add the library's proxy prefix to the URL to enable access from both on and off campus.
Library prefix: http://proxy-ln.researchport.umd.edu/login?url=
The resulting URL should look like http://proxy-ln.researchport.umd.edu/login?url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0961000614532484
You can also paste the link into the LNDL Link Creator to automatically have the appropriate link created for you.
