A permanent link can also be known as a stable link, durable link, persistent link, permalink or a PURL. It provides a direct link to a resource such as a journal article, ebook or a print book. URL's that appear in the address bar of your browser may not work over time, so it is best practice to use a permanent link.
To copy a permanent link from EOLAS:

- Click on the permalink icon (paper clip) to the right of the page.
- Copy the permalink which appears above the title into Moodle or e-mail or a word document etc.
