Create Stable Links to Library Resources

1. Find the item and click on the entry.
2. Navigate to the desired PDF.  Copy the URL in the broswer bar.
3. Delete the section .ezcentennial.ocls.ca or .centennial.idm.oclc.org from the middle of the link, if present.
4. Replace the hypens/dashes in the domain name with periods/dots, e.g. view-csagroup-org becomes view.csagroup.org
5. If your students will be accessing the item from off-campus, add this prefix to your URL: http://ra.ocls.ca/ra/login.aspx?inst=centennial&url=

Example:
For the item, "CSA N290.20:21 (Aging management requirements for nuclear power plants)",
the stable URL is: https://view.csagroup.org/CmmX2d
the link on your web page for on- and off-campus access is: http://ra.ocls.ca/ra/login.aspx?inst=centennial&url=https://view.csagroup.org/CmmX2d

1.  Proxy prefix via SSO:
   https://www.westlaw.com/reverseProxy/CRSW_CentennialCol?rs=WLNC1.0&vr=3.0&target=http%3A%2F%2Fnextcanada.westlaw.com%2FreverseProxy%3Fredirectto%3D


2. Find the resource and click “Copy link", e.g. this is the copied link from the LawSource page:
   https://nextcanada.westlaw.com/Browse/Home/LawSource?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&VR=3.0&RS=cblt1.0

    

3. Delete everything at the end of the copied link, starting with and including the “?”
   https://nextcanada.westlaw.com/Browse/Home/LawSource 

    

4. Modify the copied link with these character replacements
   
   : = %253A
   
   / = %252F
   
   New edited link:
   https%253A%252F%252Fnextcanada.westlaw.com%252FBrowse%252FHome%252FLawSource


5. Join the proxy prefix and new edited link
   http://www.westlaw.com/reverseProxy/CRSW_CentennialCol?rs=WLNC1.0&vr=3.0&target=http%3A%2F%2Fnextcanada.westlaw.com%2FreverseProxy%3Fredirectto%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fnextcanada.westlaw.com%252FBrowse%252FHome%252FLawSource

    

6. Place the link on a web page.  You cannot access the resource directly with the link alone because the system is expecting a referring page.
