Linking to Library Resources: Audio & Video

From the results list, click the title to display the full record for the video you want.

• From the icons at the top of the record, click the Permalink icon.
• Copy the URL provided and paste it into your Web page.
• You do not need to add anything!

1. Display the main page for the video you want.
2. Click the Share tab.
   
3. Choose Copy Permalink from the bottom of the screen.
   
4. Paste the URL into your Web page. 
5. Add the library's proxy prefix to the front of the URL: http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=

A correctly formed URL will look something like this:

http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/embed/cyrano-de-bergerac-2 

If the URL you copied already had the proxy information included, that works too, and you don't need to add anything. Example:

https://video-alexanderstreet-com.libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/watch/cyrano-de-bergerac-2

Example: ​ Cyrano de Bergerac

NOTE: Embedding for AVON videos is available for Blackboard.

1. From the Blackboard “Build Content” menu, choose Academic Video Online.
2. You will see an AVON search screen. Look for the video you want.
3. When you find the desired video, choose either one of the “Embed” options below the title.
4. You will see a confirmation window, which should say "Success!"
5. Return to your course content list. The video will not appear embedded, but when you click on the link, the video will load within Blackboard, ready to play.

Or, link out to the video as described above (in Blackboard, that's Build Content > Create > Web Link) .

Because Digital Theatre Plus relies on Shibboleth/SAML authentication, the pattern for creating deep links to specific content is a little different from our other databases that use EZproxy for authentication.

Here's the basic URL template:

You would replace the portion noted with the direct link to a specific DT+ video, audio, or document.

Example:

If you want to link directly to the video of the short play "Rage"...

1. Display the desired item in your web browser.
2. Copy the URL displayed in your browser's location or address box: 
   https://edu.digitaltheatreplus.com/content/productions/rage
3. Paste that URL into the middle portion of the template given above, like so:
   https://digitaltheatre.proxy.cirrusidentity.com/saml2/idp/SSOService.php?spentityid=https://auth.digitaltheatreplus.com&RelayState=https://edu.digitaltheatreplus.com/content/productions/rage&IDPList=https://idp.csusb.edu/idp/shibboleth

Try out the finished link to "Rage."

Tip: Most DT+ videos are broken out into smaller sections for more convenient linking, for example to acts, major speeches, and so on. Scroll down on the main production page to find these.

1. Display the main page for the video you want.
2. Click the </> Embed link.
3. Look for Permanent Link and copy the URL given.
   
4. Paste the URL into your Web page. 
5. This URL will include the library's proxy information, so you don't need to add anything.

A correctly formed URL will look something like this:

http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=http://docuseek2.com/v/a/rLn3/1/0/0OK

Example: Abandoned: The Betrayal of America's Immigrants

PLEASE NOTE: Embedding and LTI are not available for Docuseek2 at this time.

1. Display the main page for the video you want.
2. Copy the URL displayed in your browser's location or address box and paste it into your Web page.
3. Add the library's proxy prefix to the front of the URL: http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=

A correctly formed URL will look something like this:

http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=http://csusb.kanopystreaming.com/node/81278

Example: Latinos Beyond Reel
