Using Permalinks

How to use a permalink to link to an online article:

A permalink is a permanent link (which combine to permalink), which will always provide you direct access to an online item. You may think you'll be able to copy whatever URL is in your search bar, however, that link actually stop working after a certain period (if you save something with your bookmarks or favorites in your browser, those links will also stop working). A permalink avoids this situation by generating a link that is both 100% original to the item in question and will never time out.

Most catalogs and databases will require you to use a permalink to access an item later. They generally provide a permalink in one of two main ways. In some, you'll need to find the permalink icon on the webpage you are on. This typically looks like a small portion of a chain; if you can't find it, it may be under a "Share" menu. Here are a few examples of how it may look:

 (Goddard Library's Catalog)

 (ProQuest) 

 (EBSCO, found under the "Share" option)

Clicking on one of these will either generate a link you can copy and paste, or it will copy the permalink directly to your clipboard for you to paste!

The other option is using a common format for a permalink is a DOI, or digital object identifier. These are urls that start with https://doi.org. For example, this DOI from ScienceDirect:  . These are often listed near the top of an article.
