I have permalinks to library resources in my Blackboard course. What do I need to do before the move to a new library platform?
Answer
Red Deer Polytechnic Library is moving to a new platform on May 2, 2025.
This may affect permalinks (persistent links) to library resources (e-books, online articles, streaming videos) used in Blackboard courses.
All permalinks generated from OneSearch, the library catalogue, will break when we transition to the new platform on May 2, 2025.
See the instructions on the Faculty Guide to learn how to generate permalinks that won't break, or contact your Subject Librarian for more information.
