How to Link to Library Resources

This describes how to find the URL for specific library resources so you can link to them from your web site, syllabus, Moodle course site, blog, or any other online location.

A Library Database
An Item from the Library Catalog
Course Reserves for your Class
Library Course Guide

Linking to a Library Database

1. Go to http://library.trincoll.edu/research/tor
2. Use the Browse by Subject box to find the database to which you wish to link.
3. Next to the database name, click on the sign. (this is not available under the "Best Bets" tab. You must click on one of the other tabs and find your database there.)
4. In the expanded text that is displayed below the database name, copy and paste the URL shown after "Bookmark this item"

Course Reserves for Your Class

1. Go to http://catalog.trincoll.edu
2. Click on the "Course Reserve" tab.
3. In the "Course" drop-down, select your class, then click the Search button.
4. Your course reserve list will be displayed.
5. Copy and paste the URL as it is displayed in the browser's address bar.
6. OPTIONAL: If you wish to shorten the URL, everything after the courseId number can be deleted. That would leave the URL looking something like this:
