Permalinks

Databases and search engine URLs often include search strings based on the keywords you have entered. These search strings are temporary - if you try to share a search URL with someone and access it may days later, it will no longer work.

Permalinks make it possible to share a URL that always goes to the same place. You can find permalinks in all of the library databases when you pull up individual article records.

In Ebsco, the permalink option appears on the right of each article record under Tools:
