How to use Permalinks

What is a Permalink?

 Permalink stands for permanent link; it is a URL intended to remain unchanged and stable for future access.

permalink may also be called a stable link, durable link, persistent link, permanent link or document link.

When you are searching in library databases and resources, the URL in the address bar does not represent a permanent link; instead, that URL contains information specific to your session of searching, and it will disappear when you move to another page.

Finding and using permalinks will help you get back to the great sources you find in library databases.  

Select the tabs for specific examples.
