Encouraging our students to use this resource is an important part of our role as lecturers and an integral part of our students' academic development. You can encourage them to access EBSCO by designing activities that require research and add resources that require access to the platform by using "permalinks" and adding them as a URL in Moodle.

If you wish to link a specific Chapter in an eBook:
-
Navigate to a title by searching by title, author, publisher, etc.
-
Click a full text link to view the content
-
Use the Permalink tool on the tool bar to generate the link. The permalink tool will take users to whatever page from which you generated the link. (If you’re on the book cover, the link will take users to the cover. If you’re on the first page of a chapter, or a page within a chapter, users will be taken to that specific page.)
Copy and paste that link and add it as a URL on your Moodle page.
