Using OneSearch and Off Campus Access to Library Resources
Staging OneSearch Permalinks In Canvas to Create Easy Access to Resources
PERMALINKS
Every OneSearch record has a permalink. By staging these permalinks directly in Canvas you can provide stable and streamlined student access to the resources.
Alert:: Are older links to resources from databases not working?
In June and July 2023, our EZproxy migrated to a remote host. This does not affect the OneSearch permalinks, but links to specific resources from databases. If you staged such links in Canvas and elsewhere, and did not update them over the summer, you may discover they are no longer working.
What can you do to update your links?
Visit the Remote Access Transition 2023 page for instructions on how to do so.

Embedding Videos
All of the library's streaming videos are licensed for classroom use. While adding a video to course reserves remains the best practice, it is also possible to embed streaming videos directly in Canvas.
The process is similar for each of the library's streaming video collections:
- Kanopy This link opens in a new windowFrom the video page, select Share, then Embed, and copy the provided embed code
- Academic Video Online This link opens in a new windowFrom the video page, select Share, then Copy Embed Code
