Linking to Articles and Online Resources in Canvas

Permalinks

Permalinks (permanent links) are stable URLs that link directly to online library resources. The way a permalink is created varies by the database provider or vendor. Locate the database vendor by using the table provided in the Database/Vendor tab. Then click the vendor's tab for step-by-step instructions on creating a permalink within that particular database.

Create direct links to popular LearningExpress resources and place them on your website. You can select the areas that are most important to your users. Examples include job and career resources, college entrance test preparation, resources for Spanish speakers and homework help for students. Create a direct link to any individual center that you want to promote.

In order to create a direct link to a Center, you will need three parts:

  1. The base URL, which is https://www.learningexpresshub.com/
  2. The Center name
  3. The custom authentication token for your institution/library. ?AuthToken=C137CFC5-F2F1-4313-8468-21B9114DED04 

Once you have located your custom Authentication Token, please follow the steps below for creating direct links:

  1. Get the base URL: https://www.learningexpresshub.com
  2. Get the Center name.

    From your EBSCO LearningExpress homepage, click on the image of the Center for which you want to create a direct link (in this example, Career Preparation).

Click on the first category link (in this example, Learn More About a Career). You will be taken to that Center and the catalog page for that category will open.

Within the URL, locate and copy only the center name, in this case it is "career-center." (Note: The URL will include up to the category level, but you need only the center name. The center name in the URL and the center name displayed in the LearningExpress product may not be a direct match. In this example, the center in the URL is "career-center," but the actual center name in the product is Career Preparation. Please use "career-center." If in doubt, refer to the following image for direction or contact Customer Support.)

  1. Append the Center URL with your custom Authentication Token using the formula:

    BASE/ + CENTER NAME + ?AuthToken

    https://www.learningexpresshub.com/ + career-center + ?AuthToken=C137CFC5-F2F1-4313-8468-21B9114DED04

    So, in this case, our sample URL would be...
    https://www.learningexpresshub.com/career-center?AuthToken=C137CFC5-F2F1-4313-8468-21B9114DED04

Follow the steps above to construct your custom URL. 

  1. Place the link in the desired location on your website. We recommend that you create an alias for the link using the Center name or by using a web button with short descriptive copy. Find additional online resources here.

If you require further assistance, please contact Customer Support.
