Library Online Resources for Faculty

This guide outlines the library resources and services that we offer to all faculty including content that can be integrated into Canvas

eContent with Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)

Articles can be difficult to bookmark or link, since not all vendors/publishers offer permanent links. However most electronic articles are now assigned a digital object identifier (DOI).

A DOI is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to its location on the Internet. All DOI numbers begin with a 10 and contain a prefix and a suffix separated by a slash, example DOI: 10.1080/01944360903146806

To link to an article with an assigned DOI, you will need to combine the MtSAC Proxy prefix:

https://libris.mtsac.edu/login?url=  

and

http://dx.doi.org/

and

DOI

e.g. https://libris.mtsac.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01587919.2012.692066
