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 icon.

3. Choose Copy Permalink from the bottom of the screen.

4. Paste the URL into your web page. 

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

Classical Music Library

1. Display the main page for the piece you want.
2. Click the "Embed/Link" icon.
   
3. Copy the Permanent Link and paste it URL into your Web page. It should already contain the library's proxy prefix. 

​A correctly formed URL will look something like this:

http://libproxy.lib.csusb.edu/login?url=https://search.alexanderstreet.com/view/work/bibliographic_entity%7Crecorded_cd%7C3155079?account_id=10359&usage_group_id=106163

Example: Mozart Symphony No. 40, Movement 1 (molto allegro)

Digital Theatre Plus (DT+) uses a different authentication system than our other databases (Shibboleth/SAML vs. EZproxy).  Therefore, linking to specific content requires a slightly different approach.

Here's the basic, standard URL template which you will need to customize:

Simply replace the portion noted above (ITEM_URL_GOES_HERE) 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:
 

4. The entire thing is the customized link to copy and paste into your website.

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. 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

1. Display the main page for the video you want.

2. Find and click on the Share link below the video player.

3. Click the Copy Link button next to Link or Embed as desired.

4. In both cases, 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

Be aware that embedded players look cool, but may pose accessibility issues; for this reason we recommend linking directly to the video rather than embedding it.
