How to link to Library Resources

If you are going to add a link to Moodle for your students to use or are going to send them a list of links follow the directions below to make them work off-campus.

Your link will need to combine two parts: the proxy and the persistent link.  Do not just copy and pasting from your URL bar.

The LCU proxy is: https://lcu.idm.oclc.org/login?url=

Get the persistent link from the item you want to link to and add it to the end of the proxy. This will create a link that will work off-campus in Moodle or e-mail. How to find persistent links can be found below.

Contact us if you need any help and we can format links for you.

 

Example:

Link you would use in Moodle (proxy + persistent link) 

https://lcu.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com.lcu.idm.oclc.org/login.aspx?direct=true&db=mdc&AN=31690309&site=eds-live&scope=site
