Short URLs are available to enable you to link to staff profiles, unit details and other regularly accessed information using an easy-to-remember address.
These URLs are known as 'vanity' or 'persistent' URLs.
Staff profiles
You can view or link to a staff profile using:
- https://www.uwa.edu.au/people/firstname.lastname
Unit information
Every unit that has been published online since 2006 has a permanent link of the form:
- https://units.uwa.edu.au/unitcode/[year]
A link of the form https://units.uwa.edu.au/unitcode serves as a redirect to the current page in the UWA Handbook for that unit.
For example:
- https://units.handbooks.uwa.edu.au/units/anth/anth2902 redirects to the current entry for the Australian Aboriginal Art and Society unit, https://units.handbooks.uwa.edu.au/units/anth/anth2902
- https://units.uwa.edu.au/ANTH2224/2008 redirects to https://units.year2008.handbooks.uwa.edu.au/units/anth/anth2224
Unit information published online between 2002 and 2005 can be accessed using the old unit code and the year:
If you want to include numerous links to units within a single web page, use the Unit Links asset, rather than the Standard Page asset in MySource Matrix. In a Unit Links asset, every instance of a unit code will automatically become a link to the corresponding page in the Handbooks site - without requiring the usual HTML code to create the link.
