A persistent link is a URL that allows users to link directly to an online article, document, book, etc. and allows students to access McQuade Library's electronic subscriptions.
Persistent links are also known as durable links, stable links, or permalinks.
Persistent links can be placed within Canvas, course syllabi, and reading lists.
Databases present persistent links to articles under many different labels, so look for any language that indicates permanance. Here are some common labels:

Direct link
Durable link
Copy link, e.g.
