EBooks – How to Create a Link
- Search for the EBook in the Library Catalog by doing an Advanced Search and changing “Material Type” to EBooks.
- In the record for the EBook, click
.
- Under How to Cite/Link, click “Save citation information”
- Use the resulting URL, but add the proxy server prefix to it so that students can log in from off-campus. The proxy server prefix is http://ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu/login?url=
If you are adding this link to your Blackboard page, use the proxy server prefix "http://ezproxy.lib.utexas.edu/login?auth=ezproxy&url=" This allows students to access the resource without having to log in again with their UT EID.
