Would this be where a bog standard level intranet page could help? It
could have the direct link, but with an explanation of the source (ie
who owns/publishes the site). Perhaps plus something about that must
acknowledge source if use info from it.
If that idea is impossible, could there be a word doc with the info
linked via the network? Or something- I am hopeless with what goes on
'under the bonnet' with IT!
Couldn't agree more re need for these direct links- even I loose the
will to live trying to track down docs (DoH site, anyone?!), and my
users give up a lot sooner! Does mean the nightmare of having to check
and update them regularly, tho (they change more often than homepage
urls, of course).

Subject: Re: a quick copyright question...
Jim McNeilage, at the Scottish office of the CLA, did tell me that
embedding
links to anything other than the home page could be a breach of
copyright,
as otherwise it might not be clear who publishes/owns the site. Trouble
is,
it's not always obvious from the home page how to get to the publicatio
or
section of the web site you want people to use.
