Adding links to Library e-resources in Moodle
You can embed a link from most of Portage College Library’s online resources on your Moodle page that will take your students directly to the article, video or illustration you have chosen. Each of our suppliers has slightly different
ways of doing that, but all methods are similar.

Your username is in the form “firstname.lastname,” e.g. john.smith and your password is the last four digits of your ID number. This information is described on the authentication page that will appear when you are off campus. If you have any questions, contact the Library at 780 623-5650 or [email protected].
