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.
- From the Item Details screen, tap the Share button ().
- From the dialog that opens, tap Copy. The permalink is now available for you to paste to another location.
