How to Link to Library Resources
When selecting library resources to assign as readings for your class, please note which e-book collections can be used and which cannot, due to limitations on the number of students that can simultaneously access them, or due to download limitations.
Note that links to library resources should have 2 parts:
1) The EZproxy prefix
Be sure that your links to Chesapeake College Library subscription resources begin with the following prefix so that off-campus users will get routed through EZproxy, the library's authentication mechanism:
http://ccproxy.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
2) A permanent link
For a number of resources, simply cutting and pasting the link from the browser's address bar will not work. You need to look and see if the resource indicates a specific link to use. It may be called a persistent URL, a stable URL, a permalink, a document URL, "link to this page," or something similar. See instructions for specific resources below.
http://ccproxy.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=86245955&site=eds-live&scope=site
Click on "Permalink" in the Tools sidebar on the right.

Please use e-books in this database as assigned textbooks ONLY if the Concurrent User Level says "Unlimited User Access." (Books that say "Limited User Access" can be taken into consideration, but unlimited access must be purchased in advance of use in any course, and funding is limited. Please check with the Library to see if unlimited access purchase is an option for a title)
