This growing subscription package contains a large selection of multidisciplinary e-books representing a broad range of academic subjects.
A collection of electronic books in a variety of subjects. You also have the option to order a personal print copy of eBooks owned by Drake for $39.99 (regardless of the actual book price). These "MyCopy" books are soft-cover b/w print copies that are mailed to your address.
A "permalink" is a link directly to an article in one of the library databases. You may create and place as many permalinks as suits your topic or class.
SUPERSEARCH
To create a permalink for a SuperSearch result, click on the title to display its summary. On the right is a link that reads "Actions". When you click on it, a list of actions will display. Select the "Permalink" option. A URL will display on the screen. Copy it and paste it into your class page or wherever it is needed.
Gale
To create a permalink in a Gale database, click on the title of the article to display its summary. At the top of its box should be a tab that reads "Permalink". Click on it, copy the link, and paste where it is needed.
EBSCO
To create a permalink in an EBSCO database, click on the title of the article to show its summary. On the right edge of the page are several tools, each with a symbol. Permalink is usually the next-to-bottom in this list.
JSTOR
In JSTOR, look for a "Stable URL" in the description of the article.
Most databases that host articles (rather than providing indexing) will have an option to create a permanent link. Look for it. If you don't find it, contact Marcia at marcia.keyser@drake.edu
