Links/URLs copied from your browser's address field will usually not work, but many databases and other e-resources have functions for creating and sharing stable URLs or "permalinks."

Another benefit of using permalinks is that they are are often configured for seamless access by Dickinson users who are doing research while off-campus.

The Linking to Library Resources guide has information about how to link to search results, catalog records, e-books, and other electronic resources, including tabs for specific platforms (e.g. JumpStart and JSTOR).

If you are a faculty member who would like help identifying and testing permalinks, please consult our online guide or contact your Liaison Librarian.
