When both a print and electronic version is available in OneSearch
When OneSearch shows that we have both an electronic and print version of a book, the permanent link will opt for the ebook. To select the print version, click on the "book" option and this will take you to the classic catalogue. Locate the persistent link at the bottom of the page, right click and copy link address. In Brightspace select "My Learning" from the top menu, Click "Upload/Create" and then "Create a Link". Add a title, then paste the URL and select "Open as External Resource", click "Create".
