Section 6 LINK MANAGEMENT

Section 6.2 Link Validation & Checking

Recognition should be given to the ongoing need to monitor and maintain links created to University Content, but also to Associated and Foreign Content.

Applications and tools to automate the link checking process should be investigated, applied appropriately and made available across campus to authorised Content Providers. As appropriate, tools for link validation and checking may be associated with indexing for the Campus Search Engine.
