What is Perma.cc?
Perma.cc is a web archiving service that was founded in 2013 and is still run by the Harvard Library Innovation Lab. The aim is to tackle the so-called "link rot". Link rot is when links break by leading to empty or changed pages. Studies have shown that about 20% of all scientific, technological and medical articles are affected by link rot.
Perma.cc offers a simple but effective solution here: Web content is archived by creating perma links. Readers of such perma links are given the opportunity to visit the original web source or access the archived version.
How can I use Perma.cc as a UZH member?
Each person must first register with Perma.cc to create their own account. This provides them with ten free links that can only be accessed by them.
If UZH members wish to use the unlimited contingent of the University Library (UB), the corresponding account must be connected to the University of Zurich (UZH). Links can then be saved in the general contingent of the UB or with special contingents of the connected organisations. Please note that the perma links saved there are also visible to other users.
Who do I have to contact to use Perma.cc?
If you would like to use the service as a UZH member or create a new organisation, please contact Open Science Services at the following e-mail address: oa@ub.uzh.ch.
