It is pretty easy to provide URLs to those articles we already provide digitally, but what about those PDF files in Reserve Online. Thanks to Alan we can now do this. Firstly search for the item in Reserve Online and click the (i) button next to the title and note the item ID. Then go to the Deep Linking to Reserve Online webpage in JustUs and follow the instructions. You get a nice stable URL that you can use on your LibGuide. Don't forget to use the Links and Lists content box for these so that you can track the usage.
See examples of this on the Assignment topics tab of the BA1001 guide: http://libguides.jcu.edu.au/content.php?pid=81856&sid=763742.
Recently I've wanted to add items to Reserve Online to link to LibGuides that may not necessarily be core or supplemental readings. For instance articles on presentations, group work, essay planning etc. Talked this over with staff and we now have a subject code in Reserve Online for this. The code is IL1001 (Information Literacy 1001). You can request scans of chapters or elinks be added to this code for relinking on LibGuides. Try searching in Reserve Online for IL1001 to see what I mean.
