Ahh yes, those darn broken or lost URL links. Just when you think you
have found what you are looking for, and you are ready to proclaim your
glory and satisfaction, you get the dreaded 404 error or the
organization says that this page has moved or is no longer available.
We
hate when that happens too. Unfortunately, that is the nature of the
world wide web. Here are some tips on how you can find the article
again....
1. Google it.
Copy and paste the title into good 'ol Google (ignore the search results that links back to our web site).
2. Contacting the originating organization
Here is an example:
http://north.cbc.ca/editorServlets/View?filename=n02fishact
Look
at the root URL address (http://north.cbc.ca....), the article
originated from the CBC web site. Contact CBC and ask them if they
could retrieve the article for you. Better yet give them the article
title and brief description that we have clipped for you.
Finally,
there are some entries that we do not display any link at
all. This our fault (we have some on-going house-keeping issues) but
feel free to contact us and we will find it in our archive servers. Or,
better yet, if you found the correct URL link or have an update that
you would like to share, let us know by contacting us or by posting a
comment on the post page of the article. We gladly appreciate all the
help we can get!
