Linking to Library Materials

With the changeover to the new Alma Primo libary services platform, URLS for library resources will change.  Links for library resources used in Canvas and syllabi for course materials will need to be updated.  

Summer 2025 Courses

  • Summer courses may continue to use the ALICE permalinks for the summer terms.
  • Current ALICE permalinks will stop working on August 18, 2025.

Fall 2025 Courses

  • The new Primo permalinks will be available June 23, 2025.
  • Fall courses will need to use the new Primo permalinks as the old ALICE permalinks will not work after August 18.

How to Change Library Links to Course Materials

The new Alma Primo permalinks will be available on June 23, 2025.  We understand the timing is challenging for instructors needing to update links in late August for their fall classes.  

Library staff are available to assist facutly with the conversion of old ALICE and ArticlesPlus URLs to the new Primo URLs.  Please contact us via the form linked below.
