We have
discontinued the policy of marking broken links, and are
now deleting links within seven days of the day they become broken, using
a scheduling system that takes temporary problems into account. This
schedule enables good links to be retained long enough for problems to be
corrected, while still removing those with permanent problems in a timely
fashion. We attempt to locate items that have been moved, and
to identify typing corrections in newly added resources prior to deletion,
and we retain redirected links so that those who move files but redirect
the urls will continue to be listed until they have updated their links in
our system. However, we do consider it the responsibility of those
who wish to be included in our project to enter their new changes in the
appropriate sections of the Library.
Link Maintenance Schedule
-
Wednesday:
Run a new link check, hand-check report and post the
"Weekly Broken Link Report"
results below for public access.
-
The posting
of the report is especially intended for those who want to check the
status of their own materials so they can make corrections as necessary.
-
Repair or
remove links that have obviously permanent problems.
-
Attempt to
locate and correct urls of selected materials deemed important to the
primary themes of the Library.
-
Thursday,
Friday, Saturday &
Sunday: No action taken, to give time for DNS, network and server
problems to be resolved, and for users to repair or update their own links
and resources as necessary.
-
Monday,
Tuesday, & Wednesday:
Repair or remove remaining links identified as
-

If your page
or site has a change of URL, please add the new link to the appropriate
pages.
-
If your page
or site has been offline, you may want to check it using the LivingWeb
Library Search Engine to see if your link has been removed. If so,
please add it back so everyone will be able to find your resource.
-
Most pages have a "Links verified" link near the bottom of the page, so
that anyone who wants to can quickly check the immediate status of all
links on the page. The link maintenance schedule includes all
the pages in the library.
-
Server, DNS,
Timeout, and Overload errors may be re-run for several days before removing
selected valuable links, because these problems are often temporary and may be due to
network problems rather than actual broken links. However, "File Not
Found" errors will normally be removed as they come up unless we can
find the new location, since usually these are due
to files having been removed from their known location.
-
Links to
materials deemed unsuitable for viewing by our K-12 users are removed
immediately.
-
Posting of
suitable links on the Library pages are very much appreciated, as are your
postings of links to the Library!
-
We
currently have 14,811 manually entered links in the library.
Thanks!
| To
update a link, please click to the page where it is linked from and
enter a new link. The old link will be removed in the
maintenance process, within 7 days of this report (see "Link
Maintenance Schedule" above). If the link is correct
and active, it should be discovered during the verification process.
If you are having technical difficulties and want us to mark your
link and keep it posted until the problem is resolved, or if you
have other questions or comments, please send email to
Librarian@LivingWeb.com
Links are removed from the weekly report upon repair or deletion.
