I copied the URL of an article in the database and now the link doesn't work!
Answered By: David Kriegh

Look for a "Permalink" or "Persistent URL" option when using the Library's databases, including Library Search. The URL you see in your browser includes information that typically only works for the current browser session. It will not work later, because these sites are limited to authorized users only. While some databases will work when re-using a URL, using permalinks is a good research habit.

For EBSCO-branded databases, you can also note the accession number on the record and search for it using the AN limiter in an advanced search to retrieve it later.
