Creating shareable links

Why and when to create shareable links

Links with proxy information allow publishers' websites to recognize that users are members of the Tufts community and have access to library resources that we subscribe to. If you share a library link without adding proxy information, off-campus users may not be able to access the resource.

How to

Use the automatic proxy link generator on this page to create links to library resources to share with other members of the Tufts community. 

To create links to library resources in Canvas for course readings, more information is available on our page about putting material on reserves for instructors.

For a more detailed set of instructions, please see our step-by-step instructions for creating shareable links.
