Share an item via permalink

A Permalink or permanent link is a simplified URL for a webpage that is designed to be short and easily interpreted. Permalinks are ideal for use in emails, blog posts, and other web-based communications where lengthy URLs might cause a problem. The permalink for a WorldCat record utilizes the OCLC number, an identifier created when the item is first cataloged in WorldCat by one of our member libraries.

To share an item via permalink:

1. From the Item Details screen, click Share button () > Copy link. A Copied confirmation dialog appears in the lower-left corner of your browser. The permalink is now available for you to paste to another location.
