Use Notepad when working with urls.

MS Word often adds extra code that can render the URL useless. This is especially true when you copy a URL from Word into an LMS.
If you go to www.tinyurl.com you can paste in a very long URL and will be given a tiny url of only about 24 characters
This is helpful when emailing links!
Example:
becomes:https://tinyurl.com/t22nb5m
To provide a link to an online USD research resource, use the links directly from the A-Z Databases list.
From the A-Z Databases list, with your mouse right click on the database to which you wish to provide a link, and select Copy Shortcut.
In the example below, the url for Academic Search Premier is:
https://usd.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/direct.asp?db=aph
(Microsoft Windows)
