Stable URL

A stable url (or persistent link) is a link that connects a user to a particular item in a database or on the web.

Gale is currently working on it's own unique persistent link system, called "InfoMark". Although it is still under development, you may see a blue circle with a yellow "i" in it on your page. This should provide a persistent link to the item.
