Adding information resources to CloudDeakin
Direct linking to online information resources
It is easy to create stable links that work both on and off-campus. Many resources have options to create stable links - some terms used include 'Permalink', 'Bookmark URL', 'Stable URL' and 'Digital Object Identifier' (DOI).
To ensure the resource is accessible off-campus, it may be necessary to insert the ezproxy prefix http://ezproxy.deakin.edu.au/login?url= into the link. Some providers such as EBSCOhost will insert the ezproxy prefix for you.
The use of online resources is governed by licence agreements. Licence conditions are listed for each database under 'User rights' in the database record.

Digitisation of print materials as e-readings
If the material you want to add to CloudDeakin is one of the following types you will need to register the material in the Learning Repository (Equella):
- Any readings to be digitised taken from print material, including chapters in books and journal articles not held electronically
- Any digital material downloaded and used in reliance on the statutory license, Creative Commons, Terms of Use or permission
- Any other third-party material that has been copied
- Any reading that you have obtained the copyright permission to use.
Requesting digitised e-readings
- Send your requests for digitised e-readings to ereserve@deakin.edu.au, or
- Contribute directly from within the Learning Repository
