Description: The preferred way to provide students with access to online articles is to provide them with what is known as a persistent link that takes them directly to the article in question. The access process allows the database providers to ensure that those accessing articles are indeed registered students. One of the challenges of creating persistent links is that not all databases allow us to create them and of those that do, each has a different method. This tutorial describes a relatively easy way of creating persistent links for all databases using RefWorks. The linked, brief (3:22) flash tutorial walks you through the procedure of setting up a course-related RefWorks account, finding, and importing the required links.
