Research How-To: Strategies, Resources and Librarian Pro Tips

What does the research process look like? What are the resources you'll need?

Permalinks, or Stable URLs

  • "Good" links suited for reuse in Canvas courses, or copy-pasting into emails or Google Docs. See screenshots below for locations of "good" stable URLs in each online resource. 
  • Most library online resources create "bad" (temporary) links in your browser URL bar. Cutting and pasting a "bad" link is the most frequent reason your article and ebook links break.
