1:30-2:30pm     Stable Linking and Accessibility 
Facilitator: Kristen Lee (Libraries)
Although many understand the value of sharing online library resources such as e-journal articles, e-book chapters, or streaming media in D2L or other course-related materials, the process is not intuitive or transparent. To complicate matters, copyright compliance and licensing agreements require appropriate stable links for integrating of proprietary content in a course. This Stable Links for Electronic Resources workshop will guide participants through integrating journal articles, e-book chapters, or streaming media into their course(s). Instructions for creating stable links in various platforms will be provided and participants will gain hands-on experience in successfully integrating stable links into D2L and other course-related materials.
