Persistent Links
The address that appears in your browser when viewing an article in a database or e-resource is unique to your logged in session – do not copy and paste this URL for sharing or saving purposes.

A Persistent Link is an article-specific URL that is provided by the database or e-resource. It is stable and won’t change over time. Look for sharing options and features such as permalinks, document URLs, and digital object identifiers – these URLs are the persistent links that you can copy and paste for direct access to the item.

For remote access to the article, add http://ra.ocls.ca/ra/login.aspx?inst=sault&url= to the beginning of the persistent link if the link does not already begin with http://ra.ocls.
