  If you look up an article through one of the SVSU library databases, you need to post the persistent url or purl. Here's info from the library:
  
  Persistent links allow researchers to permanently access journal articles. These sources provide a unique link for nearly every journal article located in the Zahnow Library databases. Both faculty and students find persistent linking helpful. Persistent linking is helpful when sharing journal articles with classmates for research projects and assignments.
  The trick to persistent linking is locating the link within the various databases. The URL in the browser window is not usually the persistent link but a link that will expire when you exit the database. Terms used to identify persistent links are not standard among the database vendors. To assist faculty and students with persistent linking, a research guide has been created which includes step-by-step instruc-tions for finding an article's persistent link.
