Using Library Resources

Western Sydney University Library e-resources can be used in class, embedded (or linked) into vUWS and can be used within other online tools.

To add Western Sydney University Library resources such as e-books, journal articles or streaming online video into your teaching materials, you must create stable links that work both on and off-campus. URLs from the location bar in your browser will generally not work consistently.

Many e-resources have options to create stable links - some terms used include 'Permalink', 'Bookmark URL', ‘Embed/Link’, ‘Stable URL' and 'Digital Object Identifier' (DOI).
