Linking to Library Resources

How to link to library resources such as databases, ebooks, articles or online video

Linking to Library Resources in Moodle

For your students to access these resources from off campus, they need to authenticate (log in to the Portal). When providing a link to to a licensed library resource, you need to add our off-campus authentication link prefix to the resource's persistent url:

https://auth01.norquest.ca/login?url=

For example:
https://auth01.norquest.ca/login?url=https://www.nfb.ca/channels/critically-acclaimed-films/
