Post a journal, magazine or newspaper article in Canvas

To post a permalink to an article in Canvas:

Once you have done a search look for permalinks or persistent links or permanent links (different databases may use different terms) to post on Canvas – this gives the library stats on database usage every time an individual student clicks (this helps us when assessing what resources are kept or cut). 

These links will be labeled as such when you are viewing the article in the database or these links may be acquired when you email yourself the article (depends on the database). 

If no permalink is available, downloading the PDF and then posting it to Canvas is an alternative that works.

* Note:   Kanopy film licenses cost a minimum of $122 per film for a year of access ($315 for 3 years).  This cost comes out of your departmental library book budget.  If you want access to a video for a graded assignment you can make a request via the Kanopy site or by contacting your librarian with ngeorge@salemstate.edu cc'd to see if any additional funds can be made available from department collections budgets.
