Why would I use a persistent link rather than just upload the article onto Blackboard or Moodle?
The library has paid for subscriptions to full text content that include copyright permisssion IF you link to the content within those databases rather than simply post the text. To download, store and distribute copyrighted materials online (e.g. in Moodle or Blackboard) requires permission of the publisher and/or author. The use of persistent links from our subscribed resources does not require such authorization.
