Identify the correct link to post in your Desire 2 Learn class site.

In order for the links to work, you will need to use the "persistent link" which includes LMC’s proxy information. This allows remote users access to view library resources. Even though they have already logged in to D2L, remote users will be automatically prompted to log in to the library in order to gain access to view the posted material.
