InfoMarks--Saving Page Locations Back to Help

An InfoMark at the top of any page indicates that the URL of the page persists even when the session is over. Persistent URLs can be book marked for future reference or copied into an electronic mail message or onto a Web page. Use your browser to save the page as a bookmark.

One common use for InfoMarks is to create a predefined search. Any combination of searching and limiting that produces results can be saved. A predefined search could be as narrow as a specific search or as broad as, for example, all articles from a particular journal. Each time the saved link is selected, the search will be run anew, so the results are always fresh. To create a predefined search, save the URL at the Result List page, the page with a list of matching documents.

Saving a Result List page provides a link to the list with the most recent count of matches.

Saving a Mark List page provides a link to a list of selected articles.

InfoMarks should be reasonably stable, but keep in mind that the journal selection and negotiated rights (for text and/or full content display) in a collection can change without notice. It's a good idea to verify your saved links from time to time.

Important: Anyone who uses a saved URL must have access to GaleNet and to the product from which the URL came. Users who have access to GaleNet but not the product from which the URL came will see the following message: This InfoMark specifies a database that is not on your current subscription list.
