Permalinks records in the catalog at the Library of Congress
The Library of Congress has come to link the records of its catalogue with permalinks, persistent URLs, which do not change with the passage of time. These links are constructed from a control code, which is nothing more than an identifier assigned by the library, as stated in its page devoted to FAQs. Thus it is possible to cite the bibliographic records linking with your URL and check the availability of a document quickly. You can also link to the formats MARCXML, Mods and Dublin Core of those registrations adding to the URL the subdirectory / marcxml, / or mods / dc, as in this example. This development, which had already been discussed previously for services like Google or LibraryThing Books, expands the ability to add records catalográficos to social bookmarking sites like del.icio.us, as The Geek Librarian and improve their visibility.
