Question: How can I share a link to a video from NRC Plus without it asking the recipient to login?

Answer: Use the permalink for the video, NOT the url at the top of the page.


How to find a permalink:

  • When you pull up a video (or any other document) in NRC Plus or Ebsco databases, look for the permalink option on the right side (circled in red in the snippet above).
  • This will give you a url that you can share with other Ascension colleagues.  
  • Do NOT use the link at the top of the page (red Xes).  That link contains a session id and other info that will time out and not work after a brief interval -- It may ask you to log in or otherwise lead to a dead end.
