**Faculty: "Permanent Links" (the URL contains https://wncln.wncln.org) will no longer work after the go-live date. Any permanent links in a syllabi or Canvas will disappear. To retain saved lists in your Library Account, use the Export function to email or send to a citation management tool. The new system will have its own version of permanent links and content lists. Contact your librarian if you need assistance.
