If you're looking to ethically share articles from databases, or provide a link to an item in the URI Libraries catalog like an eBook, having the "permanent link" (sometimes called the persistent link, permalink, or permanent URL) is important to ensure access.
Even though it seems intuitive to copy the link from the browser's address bar, these URLs often contain session-specific information that will break the link if it's used later. Visit our guide on Permanent Links for more information and examples of how this looks in different databases or in URI Libraries Search.
