You can incorporate specific eBooks, articles, and images directly in your Blackboard course by selecting Build Content | Web Link. After naming the web link, enter the permalink for the item as the URL. Click on Submit.
Permalinks are unique, static web addresses for eBooks, articles, images, and videos found in the library's databases. Permalinks are used to "authenticate" NECC students, faculty, and staff as authorized users of the library's licensed content. The authentication process itself uses a student's Microsoft 365 credentials. Use the guides below to learn how to locate permalinks in the library's databases.
Select Copy Link in the top right corner of the page to get the permalink.
Select the Share button from the set of tools on the right side of the page. On the next screen, select Create link, then Copy to clipboard.
Select Get Link in the top right corner of the page to get the permalink.
