A persistent URL or permalink is a durable link that connects you directly to a book, eBook, film, or other item in the NYU Library catalog or through the library databases. Persistent URLs can be helpful if you wish to share a library resource with your class or to quickly link back to a resource. Example: You can provide your students with the permalink to an ebook in the library catalog. When the students click on the permalink, they will be directed back to the library catalog where they can access the ebook directly. Using URLs also help us remain in compliance with copyright rules when sharing and linking to library resources.
If you choose to use URLs, keep in mind that users must be properly authenticated in order to access the resource. They may be prompted to provide their NYU Net ID, password, and SSO login credentials in order to connect to the resource.
