Why Stable Links?
For online course readings to work well, on and off campus, a stable, proxied link to each reading must be constructed.
These links or URLs are known as persistent, durable, or stable, depending on the source.
It is worth noting that to comply with copyright law, you should link to readings from licensed databases using a stable link instead of copying the material.
