Creating Links to Articles in Library Subscription Databases, Journals, and Full-text Sources in Course Pages
		Catalog	Site Index	Library Home	Help

The library subscribes to numerous online databases, electronic books, electronic journals and full-text articles, many of which may be linked within your Blackboard course or on class pages that you may be maintaining on personal or department web servers. This informational page provides specific instructions on linking to these.

Please note that not all of our subscription materials have persistent URLs (also known as PURLs) that allow direct linking. If the library material you wish to include in your course page is not listed on this page, contact libweb@umw.edu for assistance, as it may be possible to create a dynamic search link that will retrieve the item.

The library uses a proxy server to authenticate valid UMW users located off-campus by requiring entry of a username and password. It is set up so that on-campus users bypass this process and go directly into the resource, although all users are given the same links. When creating the links using the steps on this page, you should always use a computer connected to the campus network either physically located on campus or via direct campus dialup rather than through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as AOL or Verizon because proxied links are sometimes rewritten. ALL LINKS TO ACCESS LIBRARY SUBSCRIPTION MATERIALS MUST BEGIN WITH THE FOLLOWING:

http://ezproxy.umw.edu:2048/login?url=

If you or your students have difficulty connecting from off-campus, review our page About Off-Campus Access to Resources for tips.

It is possible to link articles from many individual journal subscriptions not listed here. As stated above, contact libweb@umw.edu for assistance with developing these links.

ACM Digital Library

1. Connect using the link above. Locate the article by either searching or browsing.
2. View the article citation information. Articles are in pdf format, and direct links can only be made to the article citation, from which the article is accessed.
3. On the citation page, locate the item labeled DOI Bookmark, which will look similar to this: http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/876638.876639
4. Copy the DOI Bookmark and paste it into your document. Place the proxy prefix <http://ezproxy.umw.edu:2048/login?url=> in front of the article URL.

NetLibrary

The library has purchased approximately 27,000 electronic books through NetLibrary in a shared access plan. This means that books may be checked out by individuals in several other colleges and universities as well as UMW, so books may not be reasonable accessible for use by large numbers of students within a short period of time. The checkout period is 2 hours, and there is no means for an individual to reserve a book, to place a hold upon it or to be notified of its availability if it is checked out.

1. Locate the record for the book in the library catalog. All NetLibrary books have a call number "NetLibrary." Copy the link in the section labeled "Multimedia."
2. Paste this URL into your document. DO NOT ADD THE PROXY URL TO NETLIBRARY BOOK LINKS. Instead, just include a link near the URL for students to use to create a NetLibrary account. Here is an example of instructions that you may copy and use as is or modify:

   To check out the book, login to your NetLibrary account when prompted. If you do not have an account, click on this link http://ezproxy.umw.edu:2048/login?url=http://www.netlibrary.com, choose "create an account," from the NetLibrary screen and follow the instructions. Please note that the library has no access to individual account information, and it is recommended that you read the "Privacy Policy." After creating your account, you may check out the book.
