In order for the links to work, you will need to use the "persistent link" which includes LMC’s proxy information. This allows remote users access to view library resources. Even though they have already logged in to D2L, remote users will be automatically prompted to log in to the library in order to gain access to view the posted material. Please note this screen is asking for last name and student ID or employee ID number. (If you do not know your employee ID, look on your paycheck or ask a Library staff person to look it up for you.)All electronic resources provide persistent links, but they are found in different places based on the vendor.PublisherElectronic ResourcesWhat to copyABC-CLIOAfrican American ExperienceCopy the URL from address bar.American Indian ExperienceLatino American ExperienceARTstorARTstorSee Librarian.
