Database link tip:
When you are looking at an article in a database, the URL (or link) that you see in your browser's address bar is sometimes only active for the length of your search session. This means if you save the link and try to return to the article the next day, you will see an error.
If a database offers a permalink, permanent link, direct link, or bookmark, copy this instead. This is is a stable link that will allow you to return to the article or page at a later time.
