A permalink (permanent link) is a stable URL (web address) that allows you to return directly to a library resource at a later time. 

Sharing a permalink to an electronic journal article, rather than sharing a copy of the article itself, ensures the user abides by copyright legislation. Using permalinks also means usage is tracked, which informs the Library’s annual review of subscriptions - avoiding potential cancellations.  

  1. Find the required item using Library Search.
  2. Click on the Permalink icon in the Send to section.

Send to section of Library Search with 'Permalink' as the last of 8 options

  1. The Permalink will appear, copy to the clipboard and paste into the required field.
