Integrate Online Library Resources into D2L Brightspace

EBSCOhost Permalinks

As of January 7, 2025, all of the Library's EBSCOhost databases have received a new user interface, and links for the new interface can now be created in two different ways:

  • Using the address listed in your browser's address bar; or,
  • Using the Share tool on an item's record.

These links will look different from those created in the Classic interface, and have a slightly different format. Links created in the Classic interface will still work, but it is recommended that you update them to the new format.

EBSCO Databases Include...

  • Academic Search Premier
  • America: History & Life with Full Text
  • American Antiquarian Society (AAS) Historical Periodicals Collection
  • APA PsycARTICLES
