Yelena -- same problem here, mostly with students, but we do have some faculty who forget or ignore us. It's an age old problem! </div>

We emphasize to students in instruction sessions to use the permanent links within the databases or in the case of FOD, use the "share" feature. For myself, I send an email to the faculty member with the proper link. Hopefully, it sinks in. Keep reminding them
when you have the opportunity. If you have the ability to do faculty workshops during the year, that might be a good topic to catch several faculty at one sitting. </div>

For EBSCO, I have heard through the grapevine that there may be a change regarding the session URLs and making them the shareable URL, but don't hold me to that đ </div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">We have been encountering the following problem with Films on Demand for several years: when users use the URL at the top of the page to save a link to a FOD video, it quickly expires and, when they try it at a later date, takes them
to a page prompting for a password that doesnât exist. Unlike with other vendors, FOD requires a user to save the title URL from the box that appears when you choose the âShareâ option listed beneath the video.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">This creates a common problem for us as many professors use the top-of-the-page URL on their LMS site, and students are unable to access the video as a result.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Does anyone who uses FOD have any suggestions for how to deal with this issue? Any workflow youâve implemented that has worked for you? Any feedback is welcome.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks,</p>
