If you currently have PDFs posted in your courses, the best way to increase your courses’ accessibility is to replace those PDFs (which commonly have accessibility problems) with a permalink.

This solution works for content available through the University library.

As an added benefit, using permalinks provides the library with important usage metrics.

Locating permalinks is fast and easy. Depending on which research database houses the content, it might look a little different:
