Creating Permanent Links to Library Resources

Creating Permanent Links to Library Resources

A permalink (short for permanent link) to a library resource is a stable, long-lasting URL that links directly to a specific item in a library’s collection, such as an article, eBook, database entry, or streaming video. The process of creating these permanent links varies database to database. You can find processes by clicking on the vendor or database name using the left navigation menu.

Linking and Licensing Restrictions

Thompson Rivers University Library provides access to a wide range of subscription databases and online journals. These licensed resources are intended for research, teaching, and educational use only—not for commercial purposes. Users may typically print or download articles for personal use and share links to journal content on Moodle. For detailed licensing terms, please refer to the “More Information” section available for each resource in our Database A–Z list.

For questions or help with persistent links, contact the library.

Harvard Business Review

Harvard Business Review has particularly restrictive licensing terms that supersede standard fair dealing provisions. If you plan to direct students to HBR articles, please consult your Subject Librarian for guidance on copyright compliance.

Please note:

  • PDFs of HBR articles may not be posted on Moodle under any circumstances.
  • The Library offers a citation guide to help students locate HBR articles using proper references.
