A permalink a permanent static hyperlink to a particular article, web page or entry in a blog. In many situations, such as when linking an article or e-book from the UNH Library, you must use a permalink instead of uploading the article into your online class. This is part of our library licensing agreement. Permalinks are intended to guarantee that even if the resource is moved to another location on a server, the link to that resource will remain. Despite the intent, permalinks do occasionally break, so it is always best to check them before your online class is open to students.
Rather than simply putting the permalink in your online course, it is best to input the full resource title and then link it. That way, should the permalink break in your class, a student would still be able to find the resource by doing a title search either in the GSC Discovery Service or Google (depending on where you originally found the resource)
In many cases copyright does not allow you to copy and paste the article or video, etc., directly into your class. A good rule of thumb is - if a permalink is available, use it instead of a URL to the resource. You will find different permalink tools in various UNH library databases.
Examples:
You might see the Share Icon, click on it - different publications place it in different locations
The Share Icon will take you to a screen that will look something like this.
When you click on the Get Link icon, the permalink will be copied to your clipboard. From there you can copy the link into your online class.
