Or all those ejournals and other resources university libraries link to that are not at the top level of a site and the varied resources linked from academic departments, all of which must total hundreds or more. Do we have to link to home pages and give complex instructions on how users get to what they need? I understand the viewpoints of our legal experts, but these differ from common usage and think of the practicalities of changing existing links. Oh, and have we defined 'deep' linking - anything below the home page? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ian Winship Learning Resources, University of Northumbria at Newcastle City Campus Library, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST, UK ---------------- e-mail: [log in to unmask] phone: 0191 227 4150 fax: 0191 227 4563 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
