The Dartmouth College Library licenses hundreds of web-based resources covering all subject areas. Many of these resources provide full-text access to entire books and book chapters, journal and newspaper articles, government publications, and more. Many licenses allow Dartmouth faculty, students, and staff to create persistent links at the journal or article level. In turn, the resources can be incorporated into the Library’s course reserve listings, a professor’s course site, or even a student’s multimedia project.
