Linking Library Resources to the ANGEL LMS
The ANGEL system allows you to link to library resources on your course pages. Your students will be able to use library databases, online articles, and find research sources without leaving ANGEL. By using the linking features in the Resources module in ANGEL you can create a personalized list of resources for your students.
Since most of your students will be using ANGEL in an off campus environment, you will need to insert the proxy authentication string in front of the address of your item in order to make the resource available to them.
Copy/paste http://library.pittstate.edu:2048/login?url= and insert it in front of your link.
