• Permanent links in Library Search
• When to link to the Library Search

ONLY link to resources in the Library Search as a last resort.

To avoid students running into 'dead ends' it is advisable to only link to journal articles in the Library Search where there is a PDF available.

If 'Check for full text' is displayed, it is better to use a permanent link found in the relevant database, rather than the Library Search.

Best practice is always to link directly to a resource in its specific database (including EBSCOhost databases), do NOT link to Library Search (EDS) records unless there is no other option.

• Search for the title of the item through Find Library Resources

• Identify the required resource and click on the hyperlinked title to view the complete record.

• Click on the Permalink symbol on the right of the screen (1) and the required link will appear towards the top of the page (2). Copy and paste this link.
