Persistent Links to Articles & eBooks in EBSCO Databases

Using persistent links allows you to direct students to Hartness Library materials through email, on websites, in Moodle course sites etc...  However, the correct URL must be used to maintain login authentication for many of the Library’s databases. URLs must contain the letters hrt and the word libraries for authentication.
