Easier resource linking in D2L

Thanks to a collaboration between David Robinson and the RODP librarian Peter Nerzak, database links and appropriately prefixed article links placed in D2L will no longer require logins. A new ezproxy link provides for seamless authentication when used within the confines of a D2L course shell.

Lucas and Mary Ellen have replaced all of the database links in Libdata so that they now contain this prefix, so we can simply copy and paste the libdata url that shows up for the databases on the A-Z list or the Subject Guides. If used outside of D2L, it will prompt for login as usual.
