A permalink, short for permanent link, provides a reliable way to revisit an online resource anytime. Unlike simply copying a webpage URL from your browser’s address bar, accessing resources in library databases requires a bit more finesse. For instance, to save a specific resource from the Search Everything search results, select the Permalink icon (look for the chain link icon) next to the article title. This action opens a pop-up box with the permalink, ready to be copied to your clipboard. Each database might vary in how permalinks work, so for specific steps across different platforms, check the How to Do Library Research guide. These quick steps ensure your link will remain functional over time!
