If you use Blackboard or have created course pages/syllabi on the web you can can create links to online journal articles for your students to read.
To do this:
- Locate the article within an Ebsco database such as Academic Search Premier.
- Towards the bottom of the record there is a heading called "Persistent Link to this Article". That is the link you want to copy to put into your course page. See sample record below.
- Once logged into Blackboard, choose the content area you want to add the link to. One way is to put it under Assignments.
- After giving your assignment a name, in the text area type in your instructions for the assignment and paste the link provided from the Ebsco database record. Select the Smart Text button. See the example below.
- If your students find that they are asked to provide a username and password when accessing the article from off campus locations, please call Susan McMullen at x3086 and she will provide one.
