PURL's in WorldCat Disocvery

WorldCat Discovery is sometimes the only place to grab a permalink for a resource. Usually it is not, but it is good to know where they are anyway. These are not proxied links, they will not prompt a log in, but they will take you to the WorldCat Discovery Record of the resource where you can then access it. Follow these steps to find the link.

1) In your search results list, select the Share link for the resource you would like to get the link for.

WorldCat Discovery Search Results, Arrow to Share link.

2) A new Pop Up will appear in the center of the screen. There is a link located under the basic book information. This is the link you want to grab to direct folks to this resource.
