Short URLs: How do I get one? Do we have one for X website?
Answer
The library's URL shortener creates URLs that begin with https://lib.gsu.edu/ followed by a friendly URL.
Example:
Reserve a Space page on library website
Original URL: https://library.gsu.edu/services-and-spaces/spaces-and-technology/reserve-a-space/
Short URL: https://lib.gsu.edu/rooms.
To create a URL, you can put in a library helpdesk ticket (pick website) with the original URL and the desired friendly URL or you can request an accout.
To request an account for the Link Shortener, put in a library helpdesk ticket (pick website) and request an account.
