Linking to online resources
Swinburne Library provides access to several hundred online databases containing thousands of journals and books, and millions of journal articles.
It's usually possible to create a link from a web page, or from your BlackBoard course pages, directly to these databases, journals, books and articles.
In most cases you are not permitted to make copies of articles etc. to post on a web site, but you can make a link to an article in an online database. If you're just creating a link you don't need to ask for permission and you don't need to worry about copyright.
To make sure that your links will work reliably and that the links will work from off campus you should follow the instructions we've created for creating these links.
