Am I allowed to post articles from the library for my class?
Answer
Publishers generally do not allow downloading their content into course management systems, so please link to the articles instead.
Three things to keep in mind:
- The link is not always the URL; you need to look for a permanent link. This may be called permalink, stable URL, etc. When there’s a sharing feature or the option to copy the link, use that.
- Once you have the link, append a proxy to it to enable remote access. Use the link generator on the Canvas help guide to do this: https://libguides.babson.edu/canvashelp.
