Linking to Individual Licensed Databases

One can navigate to the SU Libraries DATABASES A-Z LIST, and right click (or otherwise "COPY LINK LOCATION") on any link to one or more of those licensed databases {For example, to embed the streaming video database, Kanopy, into your course, right click (or "COPY LINK LOCATION") on the A TO Z menu's link to Kanopy

Linking to Sets of Databases for a Discipline of Type of Content

Faculty also have the option of linking to subsets of licensed databases relevant to a discipline or type of content.  Submenus are available at the main SU Libraries Databases A-Z List.

For example, here is a case of selection of "social work, family & aging" from the A to Z list's menu of  "all subjects."  After selecting a desired subject discipline (in this case, social work), copy the URL from the browser window (no proxy prefix required for these menu pages).  In this example, that URL leading to more than twenty databases pertinent to social work, family & aging is:  https://researchguides.library.syr.edu/az.php?s=53237

In the 2nd example below one sees a case of selection of "news & newspapers" from the A to Z list's menu of "all database types."  After selecting a type of database (such as 'news and newspapers' or 'video' or 'ebook publisher collections,'  etc.), copy the URL(s) from the browser window (no proxy prefix required).  For example, to embed the list of more than seventy news and newspaper databases, that URL is:
https://researchguides.library.syr.edu/az.php?t=20474
