The new EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) platform offers a Share tool to generate the most durable link back to an item.

Once you've clicked on the Share tool, you'll see several options. Click Create Link, then Copy to clipboard to then paste the link in an email, discussion board, Word or Google Doc, learning management system, or wherever you need to share it.
While you can usually copy and share the URL from your address bar using EDS, using the Share tool is the best way to share a link, especially if the link needs to be robust and work over a long period of time, like from a classroom.
