Linking to a specific title from CLUES

You can link directly to a title in CLUES from your course Web site.

Once you find the title you want to link to, click on "Persistent link to this title".

By doing so, a new URL will appear in your browser's address bar.

Then, simply copy and paste this URL into your Web page.

Linking to search results from CLUES

You can share useful CLUES search results with your students by linking directly to these results from your course Web site.

Once you have performed a successful search in CLUES and are satisfied with the results, simply copy and paste the URL from your search results screen into your Web page.

Including a link to this URL on your Web page will lead your students directly to a current list of material matching your search criteria. If new material matching your search is added to the Libraries' collection, the URL will remains the same, even as the list of references grows.

You can also provide a direct link from your course Web site to a list of Course Reserve material, should you have one. This link makes it easier for students to retrieve the material they need. Connect to CLUES and search by Course Reserve (either by course code or instructor). Copy and paste the URL of the results list to your Web site.

Linking to library Web resources

Direct links to specific resources and guides on the Libraries' Web site could also prove useful to your students. Here are a few possibilities:

• Info Research 101
  http://library.concordia.ca/help/tutorial/
  This self-paced, interactive tutorial is designed to provide students with the necessary foundations and skills to find useful information, to evaluate it critically and to use it wisely for various purposes such as writing research assignments.
• Citation and Style Guides
  http://library.concordia.ca/help/howto/citations.html
  Provide a link to the frequently-requested Citation and Style Guides available on the Libraries' Web site if you require students to use a specific citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) when formatting a bibliography.
• Databases (Articles & more)
  http://library.concordia.ca/research/databases/
  Are your students simply using the Web rather than academic journal indexes or databases when researching a term paper? If so, provide a direct link to an appropriate database page or database subject list to lead them in the right direction.
• Ask a Librarian
  http://library.concordia.ca/help/questions/
  A link to this service, or to our contact list of Subject Librarians, could serve as a reminder for students that library research help and assistance is always available.
