How to Use Academic Writer (APA)

To provide off campus access, you'll need to add a prefix in front of the link so that COM students, faculty and staff can login with their COM account to see the article.

1. The quickest way to get the link is to use the URL from your browser address bar. For example if you want to point your students to the Writing center so they can use APA templets: https://academicwriter.apa.org/write 
2. Add the proxy prefix directly in front of the bookmark URL with no spaces. This is the proxy prefix:  https://comlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=

The link that is accessible off campus should look like this: https://comlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://academicwriter.apa.org/write

For content that displays an Embed link, faculty can grab code to embed in your D2L course.

• You'll need to use the Source Code option in D2L to paste the code.
• Once embedded, edit the link
  • Choose the Open in* > New Window option. 
  • Add the EZProxy prefix in front of the link, no spaces https://comlib.idm.oclc.org/login?url=
