Finding / sharing links to sources:
Many URLs copied from a browser address bar are unstable. Thus, saving these links is generally not the best method to get back to a source you found.
Look instead for a "permalink," "stable URL, "persistent link," or "share" option.
Here are some examples from some commonly used sources:
- The Classic Catalog
- Quick Search
- JSTOR
- EBSCO databases
1. Classic Catalog:
Stable links to specific books are located at the bottom of a book's record page.
2. Quick Search:
Quick Search offers a stable link option as well. It's easier to find since it is near the book's title and includes a graphic of a link above the word "permalink."
3. Databases: JSTOR
JSTOR includes a stable link near the name of the article. The word "stable" is visible in the URL.
4. Databases: EBSCO platform
EBSCO databases use the term "permalink" and include a link icon. Currently this option is listed on the right-hand side of an article's record.
