# Permalinks
## What is a permalink?
A *permalink* (permanent link) is the URL used to provide direct access to a specific page, article, or search within Informit.
The part of a URL that appears after a website's home address (or **domain**) is called a **slug**.
The slug allows you to skip Informit's homepage and navigate directly to the content you need.
